Aibu to think schools cannot win?

[arethereanyleftatall]

So far in the last few weeks, we've had:

'Shouldn't be a nativity play, my dc with small part is bored'
'Should be a nativity play, pc world gone mad'

'Should be an evening performance for working parents'
'Shouldn't be an evening performance, dc too tired'

'Siblings should be allowed, I've got no one to watch them'
'Siblings shouldn't be allowed, too noisy'

' teachers should teach instead of all this paperwork'
' teachers should send letters out to all parents checking their availability for play, and rewrite play as necessary thereafter.'

Anyone got anything else to complain about, during this joyous time of year?

Said because she was being condescending. Some teachers seem to start at the baseline that all parents are whingers even if they never open their mouths...perhaps even before their kids are born, unless of course you are a teacher, then it seems you and your kids have sparkly stars coming out of your posterior!!!

No idea where this "riot" has come from.

We had open auditions, those that got past that stage attended the extra sessions, week by week the numbers would slowly drop as pupils found other things to do. Sports, musical instruments, clubs, external interests, things that were easier or more interesting to them.
In the end it was always the same girls (and boys) that remained, not just those three but others that wanted smaller parts, didn't want the lead, wanted to work back stage, do the lighting etc.

I don't foe one moment believe that this is the only situation and nepotism and favouritism can play a part, but all I am saying is that it isn't always the case.

Do stop whinging and derailing, Mumzy
