[blparent] wow kindergarten has changed!

[Veronica Smith]

This exact thing happened to me last spring. Gabriella and her second grade 
class was singing in their performance and the people that were sitting 
directly behind me continued to talk throughout the entire performance.  i 
glared at them, I shushed them,  I glared again and then finally in a very 
stern voice I turned and whispered, please be quiet, i would like to hear 
the children.  After all, that is why we are here." One woman was so 
offended, she said, Well, I've never and my husband said, we can tell.  she 
then got up and moved to the other side of the auditorium.  But it didn't 
really matter, we got rid of her, but there were people standing all over 
the place and after their children were done singing, they talked. V
