Finances a non-issue here, they just don't to want to be the bad guy and make their child do something they may be a tad uncomfortable about in the beginning. How the **** do you expect your child to build any sort of resilience/confidence?


to be fair, end of year concerts are bullshit. my kids just cant sing, just like most people. and if they could, and they had an interest in developing that, why should other parents be forced to listen to them?

the other things the kids can suck it up and do them, but i suspect that them not doing the concert is more about the parents not wanting to go to it than the kids. i certainly cant stand going to them, either way back when i was a kid, or now that im a parent.

in summary, end of year concerts give me the shits ;)

And as a teacher I don't particularly like organising them, but I can't exactly opt out can I? The kids that battle with Maths and English don't exactly get the choice to opt out of that on a daily basis either.

yep, because maths and english have the same importance as crappily singing shitty pop songs in front of bored parents.

after having looked it up, this year i dont have to suffer through an end of year concert, which is a definite win in my book. so not all schools do them. maybe if you dont like them either, convince your schools leadership to do away with them too. would make everyone happy.

Concert is just one example. We have parents trying to bail their kids out of going to SAPSASA sports carnivals, to the Museum for an excursion, to school swimming week, we even had a hands-on Maths incursion last week (excursion that comes to you) that parents try to get their kids out of.

Anything Little Johnny might not enjoy as much as his video games, so we don't have to fight him about it.

I find it ironic that mother nature always seems to know when there's EOY school concerts on and she ensures that it's 38 degrees with 100% humidity.

and if you re read my first post, i said the kids can suck it up and do those other things. ive even told my kids that in the past. theres value in those sort of things, and kids should be participating.

and while i think the concerts are bullshit, i dont get my kids out of them either, i just think the schools shouldnt run them as there is absolutely nothing the kids can learn in them, that cant be learnt better elsewhere.

A night off? Didn't realise teachers were on night shift. Maybe Rob Lucas couldn't afford to fund support for students with disabilities for the extra 3-4 hours. ;)
