Instructor requirements...

Sifu wrote: "You need to be an excellent communicator and to be genuinely interested in other people and their wellbeing." He then goes on to talk about subject knowledge, competences etc.

The 2 ex-students (who now claim to be instructors) I found today certainly didn't fit the bill. One was too lazy to even be a student. The other started lessons with Sifu by asking in all earnestness: "Why can't I just skip the basics and go right onto the advanced syllabus?" This question remains a kind of standing joke in our school. It speaks of an unbelievable degree of arrogance and naivety. A small-mindedness that is worthy of anecdote. Like Aesop's fables?
