UGH... What is going on with today's kids??? I am teaching under an association and I love it. The parents who run the association are very supportive for the most parts the kids are great. But, as we all know there are always those kids who are whinny!!! In fact my presidents kid is quitting dance this week... She started out in Ballet, Jazz and Stretch. She dropped ballet after a month and a half, now is dropping Jazz 2 months in. She is only 10. She got upset the other day because I told them that they were going to be cowgirls for recital and competition this year. This did not go over well with her. The other 6 kids in the class were happy and dancing up and down, especially when they heard the song. But, no not her... She went home whinning to mommy. The funny thing is, her mom supports me more than her daughter. She is having troubles with her at home already and she is 10. Honestly it was like the whole world stopped when I told them the cowgirl thing for her.
Man when I danced, I had some pretty bad songs and bad dances, but I continued on. You just hoped for a better situation next year. I think some of these kids have to understand that the world does not just revolve around them. I mean you are 10 years old, I am not letting you dance to some sexy song...
UGH, I am just so ticked off at this girl. I mean, I just want her to releaize that life is not all about her. It very well is a good thing that she is leaving, because I do not want her to bring down the entire group. But, there is a life lesson here to be learned.
Thank you for reading...
I love this vent thread.
Hugs to all of you in your time of need... |
