Tonight was melody's (my 2nd Daughter) K1 graduation night performance at Yio Chu Kang Chapel. It was a night that I have looked forward to because Melody practiced really hard for her performances.Again, my experience was marred by yet another inconsiderate parent/ grandmother. This time "Mrs Transparent". She decided to move herself to the "best spot" to view the performance with absolutely no regard whether she is blocking other's view or not. I went up to her to tell her that she was blocking the rest of us behind and she merely looked at me, slanted her body somewhat and carried on her ways.
Mrs Transparent's behavior and attitude certainly created other reciprocal behavior. Very soon, other parents whose view was blocked also got up to catch a glimpse of the performance. Within moments, the entire block of parents were standing up.
Thanks Mrs Transparent for leading the way... and generating bad behavior from the crowd. Which part of the principal's announcement "parents, in order for all parents to enjoy the performance, please do not stand up during the performances and remain in your seats" is so hard to understand?
If you recall, earlier my eldest daughter's performance at RGPS was similarly marred by "Mr Transparent."
We really more social grace and consideration for others... maybe we should empower a "Citizen Fine"...oops, did I say we are a "fine city?"
