Anything else at school is fine. This is just wrong on so many levels.

Isn't this kind of the point of having kids? Going to boring school plays where no one can act, talent shows with only minor talent, squawking band concerts, plodding piano recitals, uncoordinated soccer games, ect. And you do this smiling while thinking "it's gets better" because either it does or your kid drops the activity.

No. The point of having kids is not to sit though 3 hours of mind numbing talent free crap. My kids play in music recitals with other kids who can actually play, they do sports they can actually do. Never do I need to be subjected to 3 hours of brain pain like this. Its different. Maybe its just different at our school and you're lucky you only have to deal with 1 hour instead of three.

Why do you go? My kids choose not to participate in the talent show but like to go see friends. We stay for part of it. This year's was about 3 hours, maybe longer. Most families I know don't stay for the entire time and go to the first or last part depending on where their child is scheduled. I am almost positive our school has one rehearsal and anyone can sign up.
