Teacher Told the Kids Santa Isnt Real What Are Your Thoughts?

I think it was wrong of the teacher to say that to the kids. It's like saying there isn't a tooth fairy, just let young children have those special moments and have a nice memory of those times.

Omg this it totally wrong I would be very angry if a teacher did this to my kids or grankids I bet they get loads of complaints its brilliant when they believe in santa I still believe he is real lol

She had no right I would be livid!

Sums up my opinion of teachers perfectly. They get above themselves. I know they are teachers but they should know the age of the children. They could have just said Santa is separate to the nativity without spoiling the whole experience for them.

Well I'd be furious, this doesn't surprise though, schools these days don't want children to be children

I think she right she's there to teach the kids not lie to them my friends daughter is 12 and still thinks Santa is real

It's up to the parents to tell their children ..

When our daughter was a baby her Da & I wanted to be the ones to give her chocolate for the first time. I took her to a party around Christmas time at a neighbour 's 3 doors up & the woman's sister & brother in law took great delight in feeding her chocolate & yes they knew that her Daddy & I wanted to give Chocolate to our daughter

Poor kids, the teacher had no right to do this

That's bloody awful , it's such a magical part of your life you never experience again. Your poor Nephew. I was told at primary school I'm 45 now and still remember it ! so I'm sure those poor children will. She needs a good shake

I would be livid! It was not their place to do this regardless of the age, but 7 . My son so coming 7 in February and I would be absolutely gutted if someone done this. I’m 37 and I still believe

It is wrong of the teacher to do that because that’s a parent’s choice for when they tell them santa isn’t real. I could understand if it was an older age group

Let’s be honest were you not disappointed that you had been lied to?

The teacher should not have told children that age that Santa wasn't real. She should have said that Santa is separate to the nativity. Also I just want to say that not all teachers get above themselves.

That is so sad. Let them be children and believe in the magic of Christmas

That's disgusting. I hope mum's complained so not OK with this. I work in a school and tell kids my dad's santa. Yes it's a giggle they know it's a giggle and they love it.

This is incredibly mean spirited. It sounds to me like this person shouldn't be a teacher at all. That's not their place to have that conversation.

Absolutely awful to do this but with my experience with schools, they are always right. So glad when all my children left school. I did have a few runs in, long stories, save for another day

Meany.

I personally think the teacher should be sacked! all kids love santa and this time of year is very special for them why would an adult let alone a teacher hurt them this way? its beyond belief! i always told my children that santa will always exist in your heart as they got older and obviously no longer waited for santa at xmas ,but to say he doesn't exist to a seven year old is disgraceful. I hope that teacher gets the sack i really do.

Kid, your parents are LIARS

Why can't they just allow kids to be kids these days, no harm in allowing a child to believe Santa is real ,

Using their imagination , make believe and fantasy at that age is not a problem. Plenty of time to introduce little ones to the harsh realities of life later on

This is absolutely disgusting!!!

It wasn't her place to tell them.

Unfortunately with how the world etc is, kids have had to grow up alot sooner... There's little 'magical childhood moments"

Poor kids they had roughly 3 more "magical santa Christmases" left..

I'd be fuming.... This is so sad..

Some people are killjoys. The teacher could have just said that Santa doesn't have a place in nativity and left it at that. This way, the truth would have been told without overstepping

Savemesunday thank you

I would be going to have a chat with the teacher I think its up to parents to tell their children when they think their ready and old enough

I would be incredibly angry if you that had happened to my child. I would expect the school to take action. The world is so tough, let them have a few years of magic before they grow up.

I have to say, I'd question why the individual became a teacher in the first place with that attitude.

I would get the school to ask the teacher to speak to the child and say she made a mistake

She could say she saw santa herself after disbelieving all her life and she was wrong, he does exist

Problem solved and no sacking

Why are adults ok with lying to their kids? We tell them not to lie to us. But we do it? Makes no sense
