Dd has joined a gymnastics class for 7-10 year old girls. It turns out that each lesson there are about six pieces of equipment out (high bar to practise different types of rolls, rings, trampoline to practise different jumps and salto, high beam, long mat to practise handstand and cartwheels, kind of sloped mat with trampoline to practise salto).
All fine, however, it turns out there is only the teacher and she is usually at the long mat to supervise handstand and cartwheels. There is no adult or any type of assistant for that matter at all the other pieces of equipment.
I don't know if the other parents are aware of this as the kids go straight after school and it is in the PE hall of the school.
How would you feel about this? Would you feel comfortable leaving your seven year old? Just keen to hear other people's views.
