'The song for my daughter's school dance show has sexually explicit lyrics – do I tell her teacher?'
I’m a British-born mother living in a smallish town in Saxony. My daughter is at grundschule, the German equivalent of primary school; she has lived here since babyhood and, while I do speak to her in English, her main language is German. Her class is planning a big show for the beginning of next term, and I went in to see a rehearsal last week, only to discover that one of the big song and dance numbers the children are doing is an overtly sexual American R&B hit of a couple of years ago.
