[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our ES does do cuts but tries to get kids in acts if another dancer, etc can be added. They tell them up fronts, only 3 piano acts will make it. It most cases the acts that don't make it did not oractice before tryouts and the teacher does not have to feel bad because they did not out in the effort like others. But I can understand how it is hard to get cut as a 7 year old. But hopefully they learn to try harder next year or try s different talent. The show is consistently amazing because of the teacher....[/quote]

Yes I can see that. At our school many acts that have worked very hard get cut. There is no time limit on the specific acts, but many kids who have practiced hard do not get to participate.[/quote]

Repeat after me: Hard work does not equal ability.[/quote]

That's ridiculous!! Hard work and practice is directly related to a person's abilities in any endeavor! Ability=possession of the means or skill to do something. But since we are talking about the elementary school I guess what you're saying is that the kids involved in the variety show should be those who have parents who can afford to put them in expensive lessons or prepare them well since only the polished performers should have that learning experience.

It's a vanity project for parents OP. [/quote]
