Team Matthews ATA - Karate for Kids Las Vegas

I don't normally post my feelings here, but this is something I feel strongly about. Our Youth!!! When administrators, Parents, Teachers, Politicians and the like, make excuses for student failure, I get upset. FOCUS, DISCIPLINE, DETERMINATION, SELF ESTEEM are not just words, but a way of life that has to be TAUGHT and reinforced by Parents, Teachers and Mentors......... Those who think cookie cutter teaching works are part of the problem. INDIVIDUAL APPROACH has to be a part.

I've dedicated so much of myself to this effort and would rather see a student miss a stripe or a belt, rather than be given a fake black belt or diploma that taught them nothing about the real world..........
Oh and how many students whined when I wouldn't let them test for that next belt? I think they are all better for the training now.

PARENTS....... please stay involved in your child's education and push them to be better than the minimum. C's are NEVER ACCEPTABLE

Rant over.
