Reception: Favouritism & Lead Roles

[Momadream]

Am I being unreasonable? I know I am somewhat projecting my own childhood feelings but:

DD is in reception, they had two shows in s year for the parents to see and in both shows the exact same kids had lead roles in them and all other kids just a line. Is this normal? Shouldn’t they rotate and give everyone a chance?
I know it’s only two shows in a year but how will that be objective?
Why not rotate for the second show?

Did not tell DD anything of course and do not plan to but it made me feel upset. My first instinct was to just get her and do homeschooling, help her as much as I ca by pampering her with attention, lol. But I felt upset, at the first show I put logic first and thought it’s not always possible to have 60 kids in lead roles. But at the second show, I was like how is that objective? Same kids out of 60 lead roles again. Why is that? Why don’t they allow all kids to experience this?

DD is shy but nevertheless does it matter. And not just for my DD but how about the other kids that did not get this chance before...

Ranting here...

I was nearly always the narrator, because not only could I read all the words, I understood the punctuation, so I could stop or pause in the proper places.

It was an all girls primary, and I always had short hair, so if I wasn't the narrator, if there was a boy's part, that was me. So I would be in trousers when nearly everyone else got to wear a frilly dress.

The point is that their time will not come if it’s the same ones every single year, every performance.
