I agree. I would be upset if I had a child in school and someone handed out invites to only select children, even if my child was invited. It's bad enough that kids are singled out at recess or lunch, to condone it in the classroom would be irresponsible of the teacher. The only exception I can think of is a single-sex slumber party, and that should still include all the girls in the class.
carnation, If the mom was there I would have made her remove the child immediately. She's probably forcing him to be there, or else in denial about his behavioral problems - either way, you extended the hand in friendship but that does not mean you have to let her or hellchild stomp on it or that he should be allowed to ruin the good time for the other children.
