Hello, I am feeling quite disappointed in myself and need to hear other people’s views in relation to this situation. My daughter goes to a private singing/drama school and a few days ago they had a concert. As myself and family sat through it we noticed that there were a few performers who were given at least 2 opportunities and my child performed once. Mind you she is talented, and a few of those were really bad to the point that you just want to stand up and leave. Following the concert I messaged the teacher/owner that I am happy with my daughter’s performance but a bit disappointed she didn’t get to do a second act when a few less talented than her got to do more. She took offence to this saying how I have no right to comment on her students performance and that I am spreading negative sentiments and how she is trying to build a community and everyone is equal, that my comment could instigate bullying among the kids and competitiveness. When I had no intention of talking about this with other parents, neither do I have any contact with them outside the school. She went way overboard with her reaction in my opinion and I disliked the way she spoke to me in front of my daughter. I told her I have a right to my own opinions and I believe I was just too honest. Would she rather me speak to her or go give her bad comment on social media. And why can’t I critique others performance, some were very good, some average and some shouldn’t be there as is usually the case. Have I been too outspoken? I feel like a failure now that she spoke to me so harshly in front of my child. I feel I have failed her in some way to stand up and give her a better example. I would love to hear your thoughts. ...
