DD13 has attended a dance school (after school, weekends) for approx 10 years. I know dance schools are a world unto themselves, but this time I cannot believe how rude one of the Principals has been to me by email. Three times a year parents are allowed to watch the girls dance. I havent been able to go for the last few times for various reasons, so I rearranged loads of things so I could attend last night. DH even left work early so I could go. I turned up only to find that the watching had been cancelled. The teacher told me that she had had other parents turn up all week disappointed, although there were no other parents there at that class. I sent a snotty email to the dance school complaining that I hadnt been told. The Principal has replied saying they emailed all parents and basically tough luck. She didn't apologise. I have checked my emails and my junk mail and there is definitely no email from her. The last email I got from the school was at the beginning of Feb. I also pointed out that they could have posted the cancellation on facebook or the school website. But she has replied saying that she is far too busy to do this and its not her fault I didn't see the email. She has said that she has no need for the school to apologise. AIBU to think this is really rude? Trouble is I dont know what to do now. I did suggest that they recompense me for the time it took me to reorganise my evening and the time my hubby took off work, but she has ignored that. Pulling daughter from lessons is too over the top. But I'm so annoyed! I need a final retort to send the dance school.
