No, it's confirmation bias, not to mention sampling, and entitlement complexes.


Entitlement, sure. But the boy's entitlement was confirmed while the girl's wasn't.


The parent's entitlement.


I thought about this, and because I worried of coming across as an entitled parent I didn't say anything to the teacher. If I keep seeing it, whether it is my child or any of the other girls I will say something though.
