To think if your toddler creates during a school assembly, please please just take them out?

Because I couldn't hear a word ds said this morning.

I know it happens, I have every sympathy (mine were hideous at that age) but the noise of one child running about shrieking for 20 minutes really did spoil the entire play.

Feel the same about weddings

Our headteacher always asks that noisy toddlers are taken out during the performance but there's always at least one parent who thinks that doesn't apply to them. I'm also really short and find it hard to see anything so doubly annoying if I can't hear either.
Our school occasionally allows parents to come in and read with their child. One mum ignored the 'no preschool children' rule, brought her new baby, and left it with the teacher while she went off and read her son a book. Nice for her son but it meant the teacher was unable to teach any of the other children. Taking entitled to a whole new level and the school handled it really badly and let her!
Wish schools would be stricter.

Yanbu. Ours also does the take them out, photos at the end, stay sat down and still routine beforehand, and have seen the odd parent pretty much sent out. And yes to whoever said the worst offenders always manage to shut them up when their kid is on stage.
And while I'm neither pfb or entitled, I don't attend school assembly's to listen to noisy toddlers or babies. i go to see my child, her friends and others I know, the general cuteness etc. Remaining with a noisy toddler/ baby is basically saying it's important I see my childs turn, so tough shit if nobody else can hear theirs.

I think yanbu, I don't understand why people even take them a lot of the time. Although it's not the case for everyone I'm also not the only one with local grandparents.

YANBU.
The worst thing is when the parent seems to think the rest of the audience is finding their toddler "cute" as it runs through the poor performing children.
I wish our school did something about it. I know that those parents also want to see their older child, but it shouldn't impact on everyone else.

YANBU.

Our school runs a crèche during school performances so it's a lot better than it used to be, but I sat through the most boring school play ever the other day, unable to hear a thing because of a couple of younger siblings were allowed to run riot. In the end the head gave the parents 2 choices - crèche or leave

It's so annoying
