Do your kids give out Valentine's at school?



  • Yes, to everyone in the class
  • Only to a few good friends
  • Not anymore, they've stopped
  • No idea, we've never discussed it yet
  • other - please explain

I posted this because it was a discussion on another board. Someone had told their Grade 5 boy that he wasn't allowed to give out Valentine's this year and was asking if others made them stop too at this age. I said it was up to Kristen. Last year she did, probably about 1/2 the class did, but this year I asked her and she said no. So that is fine. My rule (and I think the school) is you give to everyone in the class or no one. That avoids the one child who is not so popular getting zero while some kids get tons. Not sure if there will be much boy/girl stuff this year, but I don't imagine too many will give any in class. Maybe some treats will be sent in, but alot of the Grade 6 boys will be leaving at noon that day for a volleyball tournament so they won't be around much.

I answered yes only because ds is 10 and in 4th grade. I'm sure next year (middle school) things will be different. The cute thing this year is ds wants to give a little something special to the three kids he's been hanging out with (2 girls/1 boy) and he paid for it on his own.

No actual Valentines, just a small gift of candy for her girlfriends and a stuffed heart that sings some obnoxious song for her 'boyfriend'! LOL!

I voted other because my kids don't go to school but they did mail out a few valentines to close friends.
