Not sure if this should be in advice. At parents evening I lobbied my daughters teacher pretty hard to land the lead part in the christmas play. She performed beautifully and everyone loved it. She had 9 solo speaking parts and one solo song. She basically carried the show. I went to the summer play expecting her to be picked as main part again as she needs her talent nourishing. I was dissapointed as there were no real main parts. It was more of a group sing along. I mentioned to the teacher on the way out I thought my daughter would have carried a few more lines of her own. Her teacher said they wanted to do more of a group play because they dont like the children feeling left out. Im a bit cross as my daughter is loosing out because other kids who are not natural performers are feeling left out. Im considering approaching the headmaster.

Yep should be in advice. Could this be moved please.

    There's nothing you can do really. They did the group song so other children won't get left out and they can all have a part in performing in the play. At least your daughter got the main part in the Christmas play.

    Out of order - you need to have a serious word and make sure the next one is a proper play, with a main role, that goes to straight your daughter. Creativity and talent needs to be encouraged, not sabotaged.

    Best of luck!

    Along with the fact that he asked for advice on what to do when he couldn't stop looking at women's boobs on the school run.

    It's probably more important that your child learns that they can't be the centre of attention all the time, in this situation by letting someone else have a go. In later school years lead parts get filled based on talent, but at this age, not really a factor.

    Send your talented daughter to stage school, no point wasting time in participating in ordinary school dramatic productions. If she's that brilliant, she'll get a scholarship and her incredible vocal ability will be nurtured in the way she deserves.

    Is Edmund the gay friend who was helping him explain to the schoolgate mums he's not a perv, despite staring at their tits like a 14 year old?

    Yes (though I don't recall if he is gay or not).

    Edmund is gay and also married to a woman who doesn't check up on him. If you believe the OP that is...

    Surely the the parent has to learn that first?

    If you want your child to br a little star, enrol her in stage school.

    I thought he was. They were meeting in the Black Cock to discuss the dilemma.
    That thread wasn't comical, either.
