In reply to: Just exploring options for dd 's message, "All we did was reach out to different schools about possibly transferring and now I’m worried TC is going to throw our family out of the school… is that really how it works??" on 21:32:03 07/31/24 Wed

Certain teachers and parents will gossip and trash talk you. Move on. Cut them out of your life.
We live in a city where we do cross paths with some moms who would be so sweet to your face and yet you've heard the trash they've said about you over coffee. You'll soon realise that very few of these ladies who you may have spent days with are actually your friends.
Let is say more about their character than yours. Don't talk trash about your old school.

But don't let these moms into your life to garner confidence and twist your words. Keep your distance. Get your daughter to love dance again - there has to be a reason you're looking elsewhere and sometimes it isn't actually teacher related..it's the moms and their kids. It will never change. Yes it is hurtful. Yes it is lonely. But those moms are definitely not worth being in your life. They will have shown their true colors.

You've made a move to ho. Choose your school and make the leap. Good luck and find the love in dance.

  • If they have no idea you’re considering leaving, your lack of communication is at fault. -- Shame on you, 11:06:19 08/02/24 Fri
  • They might have already tried this...which would mean looking for a new school isn't "sneaking around," it is in their child's best interest. (NT) -- Two grownups are needed here, 12:55:58 08/02/24 Fri
  • Not Shame on them! Good on them for putting their child first. Kids move all the time in other sports. Only in Irish dancing is it seen as a huge betrayal -- It is a business, 14:13:44 08/02/24 Fri
