When the schools reopen, kids and parents both look forward to the academic year, after a long summer holiday. A kindergarten school in south-east China, however, had a bizarre way to welcome students. The school is facing a lot of flak as it organised a pole dancing performance to welcome students after the summer holidays.
Xinshahui Kindergarten school in Shenzhen had invited parents as well as children for the welcoming ceremony, a woman was seen dancing around a pole placed in the courtyard of the school. This shocked the parents who took to social media to express their anger. Some of them are even planning to withdraw their children from the school and get their fees back.
According to a report by Washington Post a huge stage was set up on the courtyard and in front rows children aged three to six were standing. Looking at the pole dance, boys ‘were seen laughing while girls were standing frozen’, before parents started taking their children away.
Not just the performance, but the school compound also had the advertisements for pole dancing around the courtyard. This inappropriate dancing did not go down well with parents, and there were several reactions on social media about this.
