to think the school should not have cancelled the Christmas concert

[shinybaubles]

my sons school has cancelled the Christmas concert because some parent or parents have objected, from what the class teacher has told me the objection was based around Christmas being a Christian thing and they did not want their child to participate. I have got to be honest and say this has left me fuming when earlier this term Diwali was celebrated in class. I am not overly religious far from it at best I could be described as a non practising Christian, when I was a child my parents were very open about religion and I attended the Anglican church, the Hindu temple, the Catholic church and occasionaly the mosque with my neighbour.
Would I be wrong to complain to the school about this. My son is deeply disappointed, and I feel it is entirely the wrong thing to do.

I don't believe you.

I, too, would go down the route of saying that either all religions are taught about/celebrated, or none.

I would also clarify the school's position with the head - this particular teacher may have misinterpreted.

Your choice seeker - will not defend myself any further am no liar nor am I trying to cause a sensation.
Thruaglassdarkly I think you are absolutely right.

Apologies. Have now read the whole thread, including the information you bizarrely omitted from your OP.

If it's a private school outside the UK then surely it can please itself what it does?

I suggest you take the opportunity to check very carefully what the school means by adhering to the National Curriculum. Particularly ifnyou intend to return to the UK at som point.

Seeker when I wrote the post originally I was angry and upset and was unsure as to what info was pertinent , it was not omitted for a reason and I thought people might get bored reading a long post. My mistake.
And I certainly do intend to return home asap.

I have written a letter to the school as I feel strongly about it.
