Embarassing

There are plenty of people who have graduated from waapa who do not come on here and start nonsense, just for the record. The majority of graduates would all agree this is pretty damn embarrassing. But hey, waapa started taking them younger! So write to them about it!

HOWEVER- all moaning aside- if you want entertainment try the theatre or cinemas. A chat forum isnt a place to say "dance monkey dance"- so whether they be silly performing arts school kids or not- dont tell them their responsibility is to 'present face' and 'entertain' you because thats what they study. And certainly don't assume that their nonsense on a chat forum is in anyway marring the public image of waapa students. There are enough waapa grads out there in a much grander public eye who's behaviour is very reputable.

But yeah...from this end, it's embarrassing. Just treat it like a zoo exhibit and dont feed the monkeys your peanuts...they just scream for more if you do.

Stop it . All that very first post was saying was "this is giving waapa a bad name, but just for the record this is a small cross section of students". And I think that is a necessary thing to have said because if you look on BroadwayAustralia.com you will find that people, as recently as yesterday, have been very put off by embarrassing behaviour on here all coming from the same place.

And good on LRom for setting it straight that the majority of the students shouldn't be judged by nonsense.

And it MAY have already been discussed, but guess what- when you POST something on a forum- it gets read, for the first time, by lots of NEW people who weren't involved in the first round of conversation, so of course they will respond when they have read it! it isnt a LIVE conversation...it is something that stays and is having a constant effect. Which is precisely why everyone should watch what they say in here.

Good on you Lrom. You set it straight, and said all you needed to.
