Its my fate's quirk again. I am doing Christmas play a forth time and facing a battle the forth time too.
The last time when I did the play I had to struggle because the administrator and managers of the school was against it for purely personal reasons and the rest of the staff was plain jealous. This time, I wanted to make sure that the administrator of the school really agreed with my plans so I asked her several times. Every time her answer was a swift and eager 'Yes' then I proceeded further. But then, the other teachers had to suffer jealousy pangs. They all have turned against me. Now only two weeks are left for Christmas Play, everyday something or the other happens to cancels the daily practice. I am getting jittery now.
Yesterday, as soon as I entered the school with my bag of costumes and my piano, I met Mrs Wlz. She greeted me and helped me carry the bag of costumes. I told her that my practices are not being regular and we can't afford that since the date is pretty near and we need to have more practice.
"Yes, of course. You can do it which ever way you like it."
Later, I went to Consti and expressed my desire that I wanted to have more practice and that I needed Ntl to play music. She erupted in panic!!!
"I can't give you my teachers. I do not have more time for practice. I have other activities to do at that time. The children have to do coloring, cutting, pasting and freeplay. We can't do theater the whole day. Why do you want only my theater? This is your personal theater. Why don't you ask other teachers of the school? Why don't you ask your group teachers?
I struggled in my scanty German to make her understand that this theater is not my personal but for the school and the children. The reason why I have chosen B Group is because this group has older children. The reason why I need Ntl is because she is B group teacher which makes it easier for her and me and the children to work in co-ordination together. I can of course ask anybody else but that would mean disrupting a sepearte group and a teacher as well. The time that I am asking for practice is the time when children do freeplay or art/craft activity; these two activities are something the children do everyday, the whole year. It won't harm them if their time for free play or art craft activity is slightly changed or decreased. Whereas the Theater is a big event and is going to happen for the first time and only once a year.
Then I went over to Ntl. She was not even aware that this theater which her group has been practicing is meant to be in front of the whole school.
"Oh yes, then it really is important! I can help with the music but only if Consti allows me too."
After half an hour Cr jumped into this muddle with full pomp and show.
