to think a whole week of Nativity rehearsal is a bit OTT?

[XBenedict]

Maybe IABU but my DCs haven't done anything at school this week apart from rehearsal for their play next week.

Now I love their school plays and I realise a lot of effort from the teachers and the pupils goes into these performances but a whole week of nothing but rehearsals just seems a bit much.

Does your school do the same?

DC's old school has stopped doing a big nativity play this year apparently.
Some schools do a carol service instead of a major production.
