Situation.

And thats a huge part of this, completely agree.

 

can anyone tell me how i can gets some posts deleted from my training log?

 

They'd be out if it were my place, unless the powers that be above me had any particular objection to that course of action.

 

Think about the consequences of this going into your student folder/gym records...Your never gonna get selected to have any responsibility of anyones kids/students/property. And so much for a refrence right.

 

I'm surprised at the parents' decision not to let the boy and girl see each other, that's the most stupid reaction they could have. Not that it's going to work anyway.

 

I think the instructor is right to take the key and give them a temp ban and I support the decision, for what little that's worth.

However, the bit in bold I don't get in the slightest. Do you happen to know what the criteria for "passing" is, or what they're being tested on?

Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest and at the end of the day, it's probably a life lesson in respecting a persons' business and a place that many customers use that they needed to get.

Wow.

At the end of the day it is someone's livelihood these kids were messing around in, in a way that could cost the owner a lot of business through damaged reputation.

On the flip side, kids will be kids and my personal reaction is that the parents themselves might be going too far. But that's just my reaction.

 

I don't see how him taking any blame in trusting a student to use his facility responsibly helps matters here. They know the difference between right and wrong.

I don't get the logic there Aaradia, sorry.

 

I disagree here. That's the kind of behaviour you could expect from a 13-year-old, but these guys are 18. They're expected to behave as adults.

 

I have a teenage assistant instructor (18). I trust him fully with the keys to my gym. As a matter of fact I did so when I went away to Finland for a holiday and had him running classes for me. I'm generally not a very trusting person but I like to think I am a good judge of character and can usually see people for what they are fairly quickly.

I would hope this doesn't affect the instructors ability to trust, regardless of age, in the future. Perhaps just learn to become a better judge of character. It's all part of the learning process as a teacher I guess.

 

This just in... Well tonight we had a handful of special guests includeing the three boys and the girl who were members of our gym, the other special guest included a retired member of the highway patrol.
I hadnt a clue what was going to happen. My instructor started class as usual, everyone lined up in an at ease posture (except Zack, hes always at attention with a total body pump going.), we were all called to attention and we recited the pledge and had a moment of silence as usual. Our instructor began telling the story of what had gone on with the banned kids.
After rereading the contract signed by all students that details the consequence for such behavior he motioned to the assistant instructor, the assistant went to his office and opened the door, all the kids came out followed by a parent. The kids then appologized/admitted to smokeing pot to the entire class.
What happened next I will never forget, Jeff (my instructor) took their belt and threw them on the floor over in a corner, they handed him their certificates and he ripped them up in front of the whole class two of the kids cried. Next they were topld to leave and that maybe they could come back in three months.
We were all told that this was our Karate school and that we all needed to think about rather or not we should allow them to come back and that we would have a silent vote in three months for anyone who wanted to return.
The highway patrol officer then talked for the next hour about drugs and a life of crime.
There it is...

 

It sent a message, a very big message. I think the grace that was shown was that no one received a beating and the cops wernt actually called.

 

If you arnt repentant then yes you could view it that way. It was in the contract mind you. These kids were very deceiving and took a huge advantage from a man that offered them a great opportunity.
There going to walk this out and polish their honor or their not, its their call now.

 

I think it's an overreaction by everyone concerned who seem to of forgot ton that this is all part of growing up. Yes they did some dumb stuff but that's what kids do, growing up you make mistakes, that's how you learn. Not much forgiveness in this story, were all the adults/parents really that straight whilst growing up?
