Oh dear. Following an exchange with dd's teacher this morning, I think I might be veering into "helicopter parent" territory.
The school Christmas play is due to begin rehearsals today, so this morning I asked the teacher if tall-for-her-age dd could be placed somewhere that she could be visible. For the last 4 productions, she has been placed on the last row, near/on the end, and inevitably in the shadows. For the summer play she was even partially obscured by part of the light rig apparatus.
Anyway, the teacher looked at me with a forced smile, and an expression like "get a life". She then said in a slightly pitying/patronising way "well, she is tall so will naturally be at the back, but we'll see what we can do".
Helicopter parent or reasonable request? Either way, it's not a big deal, but would like some objective opinions please....
