Although the class itself is good for children, I have been dismayed to learn that one of the instuctors has crossed the line and they are not practicing what they are preaching so-to-speak. My friend has taken her child to the class to help learn self respect and control along with values and they expect that the instuctors will assist the child with that. It is unfortunate she has paid for the service but now feels like the big picture is lost because the instuctor has crossed the line with some other students mother and it is obvious. In my eyes it is no different than a teacher dating a students mother. It not only blurs the lines of authority, and respect for their elders, it leads to playing favorites and even if that is not the case other students may feel that way as the instuctor is not dating their moms. It lessens the value of the tenets the children are being taught. It is something to think about before taking your child there, it may not bother some, but for mothers whos children are not getting the extras it says something about character. \r
Pros: the exercise is great for the kids
Cons: the parents may view it as a gimmick rather than a way of life - overly friendly
