I am honestly uncomfortable with all these WE stars just randomly setting up side hustles teaching when they have absolutely no training or qualifications, especially when it involves teaching kids. Just because you have received training in something (or not even that, in Carrie’s case!!) doesn’t mean you should be teaching it.
Professional Singing and dancing teachers spend years taking exams, training in how to teach, how to nurture talent and encourage improvement in their students, and constantly work on improving their skills. Yet some 24 year old knobhead who did 3 years at Arts Ed, has Les Mis ensemble and 2nd cover Eponine as their only theatre credit, thinks they can do the exact same thing? Nah.
It needs to be a lot more regulated.

Also, I don’t know who who originally uploaded that kids recording of Legally Blonde online in the first place, but they need to be held to account. I know there are lots of recordings of amateur productions online, which is an issue in itself (did all of those performers, who are normal people and NOT professionals, consent to it being posted?) but as this production involves very young children, whoever posted it really really should have known better and should be hauled across the coals. It’s a safeguarding and consent nightmare. Did the children and their parents know it was going to be posted online? Did the parents give full consent? If not, it’s horrendous. If I was the parent of that little girl I’d be seeking legal advice.
