Our first 2 Ave Celtic were beautiful, but the 3rd dress looked like a school project, clearly rushed the days before we arrived I just thanked god I hadn't even paid a deposit, we left empty handed and thankfully got a 2nd dress for same price that week(just before worlds).

• It’s the same with how some of them treat the parents . Some parents are stuck to the teachers and other parents side lined and barely acknowledge.

They need to remember they are teaching dancing not donating a kidney (NT) -- NT, Sun, Nov 03 2024, 17:20:28
  • We have a few of these in our school. All over the teachers for any bit of attention they can get, like teachers pets in school. It’s highly embarrassing for both parties. Yet the teachers practically ignore some parents and speak to them like they are dirt. Some teachers definitely get inflated ego’s when they collect their TCRG certificates. They seem to forget WE employ THEM, and without parents they wouldn’t have a school. Then they have the audacity to preach “Be Kind”. (NT) -- Bemused parent, Sun, Nov 03 2024, 22:52:28
