Yes they do skip school. I think it is worth it to live your dream even if it is for a few months. There is a lifetime of school ahead of you, Many of us will be 50 and still be going to school to upgrade something for our career or a new course etc.. Also why do we go to school? To build a foundation for our careers, Many of these kids have said Music to be there careers so an oppertunity like this come just once in a lifetime. No aspiring singers gets to meet so many big wigs in the industry and exposure so early. It is like a kid who wants to be a computer / software developer when he grows up but gets to be in a program or show for a few months, gets to meet Bill Gates when he/she is 10 or 12, gets to learn from them , get tips , tricks etc... that is Education in itself. Also like i said all these kids have a Dream to be a famous singer someday, honestly maybe 1 or 2 out of the bunch will get to fullfill that dream at a later stage in life. Most of them will get moulded by society and accept whatever jobs , careers that comes their way. Most of them are living the dream now this is as close to many of them will ever come to full filling that dream. So let them live it now... there is still plenty of time to be a.... doctor , lawyer , engineer.... 😉
very well said 👏and totally agree with u .Only thing is that after all this fame,theses kids shld remain down to earth .Their parents shld make them understand that this is a very temporary thing .After the comments in these shows and esp,after the audience votes if they start thinking that they are God's gift to music or think that ppl will always love them they way they did,they will be in a for a rude shock at a later stage in their lives.Let's face it,only one out of 100/1000 of these participants will be able to make a livelihood from music.After all this,if they have trouble getting back to a normal life,concentrating on studies,let the star status go to their head or start thinking that they are the ultimate...then they are in trouble.This is true for any kid who gets fame in any field at a young age..
I agree that they shld particpate i these shows,but I'm also saying that it is very important for them to be down to earth,too.... ,otherwise this experience might prove to be their undoing 😊
