Should you even be asking this question? If We continue to let our most valuable resources ( our children ) go to school without first doing a complete check of the adult instructors, including how well they are trained to handle the needs of todays children, Then are we not putting the cart before the horse?

Addressing the needs in training is equipping us all for the challenges that the next generation will propose, and exemplifies that we believe in learning from our shortcomings.
