My 6 yo plays and eats alone at school

[u/Natural-Blackberry26]

My kid started kindergarten this year and told me she has no friends. She said the other kids don’t want to play with her and tell each other not to talk to her. She says she plays alone on the playground and even though they eat lunch at the same table, nobody wants to talk to her.

They’re doing spirit week at school and one day is Twin Day. She asked a few kids if they wanted to twin with her and they all said no. Why is there even such a thing as Twin Day? I feel like it makes kids feel excluded.

I reached out to the school and her teacher said she asked my kid, and my kid said everything was fine and she was happy. I explained that my kid doesn’t open up often and she probably didn’t feel comfortable telling her. I never got a response back even though I was told they would follow up with me.

I am so heart broken. My kid is the only child, and her dad and I are divorced. I raised her to be strong and outspoken as I feel like she will need to be in this world, but now I feel like I did too much and she is not liked by others. I don’t know what to do, or if I should even do anything at all and let her figure it out.

Pizza is not burnt. It’s from Prince St Pizza in Chicago and it’s their charcoal crust.

Yes, I said the same thing to my daughter’s school about twin day and they dismissed me too. Yet “old people day” was deemed offensive because it was ageist?

Same about kid, but didn’t complain to school. But we sent him in picachu shirt with plush picachu! He didn’t seem bothered. But we left that school. New school has a default teacher everyone knows what they’ll wear so any twinless kids can match!

Every theme day in school only served to make me feel more isolated.
