To think short kids should go at the front

[TheObstinateHeadstrongGirl]

DD is the shortest in her class by some way (year 5).

Today her entire class had a poetry competition thing happening with other schools, where the class all spoke a poem/piece of writing at once. Also lots of actions and hand gestures etc.

Well I took 2 hours off work, drove to the church it was happening at, paid an entry fee to sit through it all without seeing DD once. Because She was at the back behind the tall kids. now and again I saw a hand raised up when there was an action but that’s it. This isn’t the first time this has happened.

WIBU to complain to the teacher and say in future can she not just put her at the front where I can see her. They rehearse the moves and she would have been out at the back for the beginning.

Well my DD is the tallest and always at the back. As a result I’ve never seen anything below her nose in a class performance.

The smaller ones are always a lot more prominent. Which makes sense but the sensible way won’t please everyone still. I think you’re unduly upset about this tbh.

Have you asked the teacher yet op?

My year 6 DS is very short for his age. He was not impressed when they put him near the front with the year 4's for the choir performance so you can't please everyone.
MY DD was at the front in her nativity, but she was also right on the edge as she has SEN so she was just as likely to run off the stage as do what she was meant to.

I was so small at school I used to have my own row in school photos, for years, I hated it
