Of course they -the little ones --love all of the dressing up, but do the teachers really believe that these kids are taking in the seriousness of a wedding. I think they are too young to understand. It all seems like a movie to them and very glamourous.
Can anyone on WOL convince me that this is a good idea, or is it just me who feels uncomfortale with it--or 'it' being in the name of education.


I don't really think it is a bad think Cathidaw. It's quite sweet really,
at least they are being taught what is normal. It is called infantile parentalism, and really not a bad thing at all.
