Yesterday was the kermesse. As usual, the adults were chatting all the way through the song and dance show, and only watching when their own DCs were on stage. It's such a bad example to set the children.
And this year, because it was hot, by the end of the show nearly half the audience had left and were standing outside the hall having a cigarette break. The show only lasts one hour. I felt really sorry for the children doing the last dance.
I just think it is so rude and would like to know if the adults behave in the same way in other parts of France. (I'm up in the north)
