Sad but true, where I worked before having my own business a trusted teacher of 22 years up andleft 4 days after the recital and opened her own studio across the shopping center, only being separated by the highway. SInce she staged all the major performances anyone that wanted to continue in her productions knew it wa the kiss of death not to go with her, WIthin a year she had gleamed all of the good teachers. The original SO was broken and I watched her decline into a very deep depression. Of course we all wanted to leave as the numbers went from 600 students down to 160. Finally she gave in and just closed the doors. It was so sad and heartbreaking to watch. The new studioand all of the teachers felt absolutley no remorse in hurting this SO who had taken them all in when they had little or no experience. THis was the way she was repaid! She just did not have the fight left in her to continue. SO SAd....
