My daughter is in her first year at school so it was my first experience of a primary school concert since I was a performer myself!
I was surprised and cross to see that several of the classes had costumes which were gender specific! One that I particularly remember had the boys dressed as tigers (tiger masks, orange clothes with black tape stripes) and the girls as 'jungle girls' in grass skirts, leis and white vest tops.
I managed to find a teacher that I know socially and apologetically mentioned my concerns and she promised to feed it back to the relevant people. I was torn between doing what I feel is right and not wanting to rock the boat (to my daughter's possible detriment) right at the beginning of her school life.
What would you have done??
