Am I flapping for no reason?

[vwvic]

Yesterday, my dd1 was allowed to watch a film at school for a friday treat. Mostly I'm ok with this, apart from two things. Firstly, the film was Jurassic Park, secondly she is only 5. I'm verging on geting my knickers in a twist as I'm not sure that this was a desparetly appropriate choice given the PG rating, and that parts of it terrified me when I first saw it.

I'm not sure if I'm over-reacting, given that I have other concerns about the school that may be influencing what I think about this. DD1 doessn't seem to have been scared by it, but she did seem to be a lot more jumpy than normal. She is not the sort of child that would tell anyone other than me or dh about feeling scared/unhappy etc.

Another dimension is that I would not mind her seeing the film if she was with me or dh.I guess I just feel upset because I think ther are loads of other films that are classified U, and surely it should be the parents choice to show an older rated film to their children?

So, am I flapping for no reason?

I've never been in this situation but I would threaten them with publicity. If you don't fancy the Telegraph column, you could try the Times or the Guardian. Also canvas other parents for their views, maybe even get a few to write a joint letter with you. Contact your local paper. Write to your M.P., Tony Blair, and Ruth Kelly. Presumably this would also count as breach of contract so if you really felt aggrieved you could threaten them with legal action.
