Hi
I have noticed at my ds's school that the same children tend to get the lead parts in school plays alot.
Although I realise that teachers are likely to pick children they know they can rely on to do the part surely others should be given more of a chance on this.
I have seen many a child who has done a fantastic job with their lines on the rare occasion they have been picked, but they are never chosen again and the same ones seem to be chosen all of the time.
I do not mean to sound like a jealous mom and I know some of you may be htinking that of me but my ds actually got a talking part the once and he delivered his lines beautifully and I couldn,t believe it even the teacher commented how well he did.
I have been disppoitnted ever since that he has not been given the opportunity to show this unexpected part of him again.
Most plays I have been to he has been stuck at the back in a low key role etc.
Just wondering if anybody has had the same thoughts on this sort of thing.

Does anybody else think that schools are guilty of using the same lead parts in plays too much
