[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. They are postponing a performance… not the original one they planned
2. I asked my children’s teachers and all of them said they didn’t know why it was cancelled and 
3. The admin should give a reason why without having to ask, they are being obtuse and vague on purpose
4. If a parent complained, even if they were right, there were other ways to handle it than cancelling (postponing/postponing with the intent to cancel/postponing with the intent to revamp/whatever) the whole performance

Or maybe, they really aren’t allowed to say why the concert was postponed.  Maybe the chorus teacher got COVID or had a medical emergency or death in the family or something else that is none of your business and protected by their right to privacy.

Maybe there was a social media against the school or the concert (definitely has happened to my kids school) or an elevated threat level for some reason, and it isn’t being announced while investigated.

Maybe there was serious disciplinary, bullying, harassment, etc among the kids issue at the daytime concert and it needs to be investigated and dealt with.

And I could go on, because my kids have been in FCPS for years and BTDT (at schools considered by DCUM to be “excellent” BTW).

Not only are you not entitled to an answer in circumstances like this Karen, privacy or security concerns would prevent it.

Go find a real problem. [/quote]

DP.  Usually some explanation would be given for postponing a school concert, however vague.  You're just knee-jerk attacking.[/quote]

Really— please tell us what you would say about the director having COVID (that respects his legal right not to have an illness disclosed), or a security threat (that the FBI okays and doesn’t panic the school) or a disciplinary issue (that doesn’t become a 20 page thread on DCUM of people saying things like “my kid say Larla said Jews are going to hell” before the situation was even investigated.

Especially since Flint Hill Mommy’s are apparently the most histrionic, gossipy Karens in FCPS.

The baffling questions here are why people care so much (that the reason isn’t given. I get why they care the concert was postponed). And do you have any real problems?

Buckle up. If this makes you this angry, you will never survive 13 years in FCPS where, yes, sometimes things are cancelled and you don’t get to know why, or you aren’t told until later. Where you get emails like “we are aware of the recent social media threats against the school and are working with the FBI…”— and you have no idea what the threat is, but your kid heard…(scary), you get news of a lockdown, but no reason, and where some Admins are just poor communicators.

Get back to me when your kid texts that the schools locked down and she doesn’t know why.  And the email you get two hours later explains it as a “possible threat”. [/quote]
