Teacher-Well, Aint Easy Being Green

 "Ain't easy being green" was famous quote of Kermit the Frog of Muppet Fame.

The program was designed to be entertaining yet educational for youth via

the television.

Many Black Belts are teachers. So lets discuss. One teacher had several years

experience . In commenting for a interview, Why  students having stuck with his Martial Arts expertise  and classes "I do not know why they still come?"

Perhaps he was being modest?

Another one, Ms. J loved teaching.  Her situation was she would go blank during

lectures. She had evidence of Cognitive Issues. Her student body thought

she should retire.

Students still bring their favorite teachers apples. This implies they are not

"Striking" or fussing over Class sizes but present always to get their treats.

Teachers have their favorite students. Just as students have their

favorite teachers. Teachers job is teaching one how to think. As Martial Arts

teachers,our students may get sent home for fighting. All they done is protected

themselves in most cases as they have been trained to do. So as teachers we must be supportive and linked in to our students.

Then there is this,

One thinker once said. "beware of giving advise, the wise do not need it-

fools will not heed it". Teaching ain't easy. But Kermit said it first and foremost "It ain't easy being green."
