Student in the Middle

The instructor who taught most of my classes in tae kwon do and kum do quit last Tuesday. There is a lot to the story. One person gave one reason. Another person gave other reasons. I am sympathetic to both the employer and the instructor.

I feel as if I am expected to take sides. To join in with the irritation of the instructor who quit, and also leave the school, or to stay where I am. The decision is made, since I have two years left on my contract. The instruction is basically the same, also.

In truth, both sides made mistakes. Both sides need to forgive, if a friendship is to be salvaged. Unfortunately, I do not think this will happen. A new instructor is expected in the next couple weeks. The Grand Master really needs to do this, in order to ensure his business continues smoothly.


It's not what we, the students, necessarily want, but it is what must be. It sort of . . . stinks.
