somewhat BF related, 4th gr & valentines day?

I was goignt o pick up Vday cards for DD today and asked SS if he wanted some too or if he had already made plans with BM for what he was going to do?  (reminding him that he would be at our house this weekend and might need to take with him this weekend anything he wanted to bring to school Monday).  He said BM told him they were't allowed to give everyone in the class cards so she was making a few cards for him to give a few kids and he was trying to decide which kids to give them to.  I said that it might be that they don't have to give to everyone but it sounded strange to me that they wouldn't be allowed to give to everyone.  He agreed and said he wanted me to get cards for everyone and a few of his friends would also get the special ones BM is making for him.  Since I thought that maybe he might have misunderstood, I emailed BM to reiterate the conversation and to say I'd be happy to pick up cards but don't want to mess up any plans already in the works.  Since her response wasn't so clear and I was in the store anyway, I picked up some cards for him too but was wondering if I was missing something.  Is it wrogn to give a card to everyone in the class at this age?

    That is strange.  My dd is in 4th grade, although I haven't heard if they are having a party this year, but I would most definetly get cards for the entire class.  In past years, we always do the little cards and just put "from: Taylor" and leave the "To" blank and then the kids put the cards in everyone's little bags they make.

    I would absolutely make sure everyone in the class has a card, including the teacher.

    I specifically remember being a kid, and reminders being sent home saying 'be sure that your child has a card for everyone in class'. Maybe times have changed?

    My LO is only in preschool but their rule is a card for everyone or don't bring any. My older one is 15 and when he was in elementary it was the same.

    As others have said, as a child I remember it being all or none as far as V-day cards. No one wants to feel left out when they're the only one who doesn't get one. I like your idea.

    DS is in 4th grade.  He had to make one for everyone in his class, if not for everyone then for no one.

    Thanks.  I'm going to encourage SS to give everyone something.  I think he'll be fine with that.  I wish that BM wasn't making special ones only for some people but I can't do anything about that.  (and am not sure why she is making them rather than him.)

    I think either he misunderstood BM or she misunderstood and they have to bring none or for everyone.

    This.  And I just talked to Pumpkin's teacher last week and she confirmed it.
