Why doesn't each class have its own talent show and then everyone can vote for their top three choices. Those top three choices get sent on to whomever directs the show and those three acts from each class are the ones who perform. That way, everyone who wants to tries out, they get to be "heard" and if they're good enough, they go on. If they're not, they don't, but they still had a chance, you know? I'm in total agreement, though. "Oh let's protect their feelings," they say. But throw that out when you do a talent show? wonderful post!Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08599291900500434062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724867472090979746.post-41196623641015431592013-03-20T09:24:28.538-07:002013-03-20T09:24:28.538-07:00Of course they're talented- they've got yo...Of course they're talented- they've got you in their genes.

That's not right. When I was in school THE WHOLE SCHOOL participated in the end of year concert. Yip. Every single class and every single pupil had a chance to get dressed up, get on stage and perform. We were trees, dancers....whatever, but it was great. I loved it. It taught us how to work together and was nice for the shy ones to blend in. Of course there are lots more kids today in classes - think we were around 25 or so, but teachers can make it work if they really wanted to.Melanie Chisnallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13185780861280344366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724867472090979746.post-49524539668096254532013-03-19T17:31:27.854-07:002013-03-19T17:31:27.854-07:00OMG Stace!

How dare the schools kill a child's spirit like that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04217846434752503748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724867472090979746.post-30767335225715792572013-03-19T14:44:44.970-07:002013-03-19T14:44:44.970-07:00I think that it's wrong to do that to a kid so...I think that it's wrong to do that to a kid so young. When my girls were in school, they had an open talent show that everyone could participate in up until the 5th grade. Starting in 5th they had to audition and many were not allowed to perform. I don't think it's right. <br />I hope your little one isn't too heartbroken. I feel for you both! Amyhttp://amylandisman.comnoreply@blogger.com
