Every year a Christmas issue at this school.
There is no play this year but they are learning 13 "carols" to sing back to back. We have to sponsor them which will pay for a school trip to London (we live in Hampshire) Parents can join in but not watch because IT'S NOT A CONCERT according to newsletter.
Having looked at the song sheet there are four actual carols and the rest are popular Christmas songs. I am upset that they haven't done all proper carols especially since it's a small local school that doesn't have any other faiths (apart from me being pagan ish )However it's REALLY distressing me that they have to sing Last Christmas which I'm pretty sure would put off any one of any faith all together:
"My God, I thought you someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Ooooh, Ooooh
For Christmas for a seven year old?
I don't mind him humming along in a shop but learning the (inappropriate) words for 3 weeks is grim. Why can't he learn the Holly and the Ivy or something?

AIBU?
Last Christmas - not a carol and not really great for a 7 year old.
