June 24th, 2008
School is out for the summer and it’s taking its toll on the junior age group classes. It’s a common courtesy to let the sensei know if you’re going to be out an extended time but it seems my students (possibly former students) have dropped the ball on this point. I’ll fill their slots with a few more young people who want to be involved in something for the summer but I won’t hold my breath for the others to return. I’m used to students quitting this time of year. I just wish they would let me know their intentions. Sometimes they expect to return at the beginning of the new school year as if nothing was unusual about their absence. Perhaps this fall I should place them on a three month delayed waiting list as punishment for their bad manners. I suppose I should ask myself, “WWTD?” You know What Would Tatsuo Do? I think I already know the answer to that question. What about you?
