As the mom of a third-grader, let’s get this out of the way: There is NOTHING cuter than an elementary school musical. A bunch of kids onstage in fancy clothes singing and/or playing 100 out-of-tune recorders simultaneously at the same time ALL AT ONCE? It’s garbage! I love it!
For teachers, it takes a lot of time and behind-the-scenes effort to prepare students for these performances, which is why it’s surprising that a Wisconsin school district recently cut a song from an upcoming first-grade musical for being too controversial.
