Ok, dd is gutted and I admit that this may be clouding my judgement, so I'm coming to the only place that I know I'll get an absolute straight answer!
Dd has been chose to play Mary in the Christmas Play - it is the first and only time she has ever been cast in one of the main roles. She is 9.
She had one line to say and one of only two solos in the whole play to sing - she was utterly ecstatic to be chosen!
She has practised every night, she sings it round the house, in the bath, in the garden and has told everyone that she's singing solo - she's so proud of herself.
So, now to get to the point, she's come home from school absolutely gutted. Her teacher has pulled her solo out of the play (although she still has one line to say). Her teacher told her that the reason is that the children who are singing chorus to her cannot do it properly
I think it's really out of order and totally unnecessary - it's a school play ffs, why can't she let dd have her 2 mins of fame?
I'm quite annoyed about it really - I want to go to speak to her teacher on Monday and explain that dd has worked so hard on this and is so upset that it's been pulled.
I don't know what I expect her to do ...actually I don't think she'll do anything, but I want her to know that I think it's unacceptable!
So, AIBU?
You can tell me ...I can take it ...
I have to nip out now, but I'll be back to reply later
