Being strict for the kids classes may be good for them. But for the adult classes? Come on. And I do agree, schools in america are not that strict and should be more but the US school system is much better than other countries. Besides that argument though, as someone who knows about teaching and research on teaching, there is a big difference in teaching adults and kids. My bjj school is not strict. It is more like a sport. We respect the coach, sometimes call him by his name, coach, sir, but its up to us. Respect is good and great. I just think it may be overboard a bit for the adult classes thats all.
There are differences between adults and children but TKD does not seem to want to recognize them. That is why 14-16 year old have black belts. In bjj, you cant even earn a blue belt (which is the lowest besides white), until you are 16 and then you have many years till black. Seeing a black belt under 20 years old would be amazing and be an elite athlete. Im not trying to compare the two, but its just a good example. |
maybe worst in the world was a overexxagerated. but compared to other 1st world countries like finland, belguim, australia, korea, japan, hungary , germany, and the united kingdom, the U.S. education system, and sucess was ranked last and quickly declining according to a study done by. the UNICEF
but i get what your saying.
