Hi,
Just after a little advice.
My DS school have informed us that they plan to attend and take part in an evening dance show in the centre of Blackpool.
The show is from 7-9pm.
The children will be taken to te venue by coach but will not be returning by coach, the parents have to collect.
We have a coice of staying and watching or picking up at 9pm.
The problem is, its my MIL's birthday that day and we have plans for the evening which my DS wants to attend.
I approached the school and informed them of this and they have informed me the activity is compulsory and were really rude when I tried to tell them my DS can't attend...can they do this?
My DS hates anything where he has to preform so doesn't want to take part anyway.
Anyone any idea where I would stand?
He doesn't take part in any activity where I would expect to have to attend evening shows etc (my daughter was in the choir throgh primary school and we did realise that out of school activities would be required)
But my son chooses not to take part in activities like these because its not his thing!!
I also don't fancy the idea of leaving my MIL's birthday to walk round the centre of Blackpool in my own to collect him.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I plan to pick this up again with the school this week.
Thanks
