What does everyone think?
On one hand, children bring in a lot of money and keep the studios open. On the other hand, teaching children tends to be a factor in the watering down of many arts, just because the teachers can charge big bucks by bumping junior up every 6-8 weeks. This makes the soccer moms happy, because they are seeing a return for their money. The teacher is happy because he can now make his payment on his benz. The student gets a pretty piece of paper and a belt, but no skillls.
It is hard today to find a school, at least in my area, that doesn't have some 5 yo blackbelts running around.
