[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What were the teachers doing during all this?

My 4 year old is in a ballet class, and parents do not intervene. The teacher ably handles any horseplay, inattention, or other misbehavior. These things happen, since the kids are young (4-6), but the teacher immediately addresses it and keeps the class moving.

If your response is "But these are 2 year olds, of course the teacher can't manage all of their misbehavior at once," that's just more confirmation that the class is not age appropriate. [/quote]

It sound like OP is doing a parent participation class. We used to call it Mommy-and-Me gymnastics. Parents are expected to be fully engaged and active in class.

Gymnastics classes for the 4 to 6 year old set are without parents.[/quote]

This is the key question.  It's unclear from the OP if it's a mommy and me class, in which case the parents are expected to intervene and help Larla and Larlo with the activities, or a very young solo-gymnastics class.  If it's not explicitly a parent-participation class, then the OP needs to back off and let the teachers teach, even when some kids are going crazy.  Having parents jump in when they aren't supposed to be involved doesn't help a situation.[/quote]
