  Yayy!<br>I would also like to say that people who grew up with this abuse think it&apos;s okay so that makes them angry when someone says it&apos;s not.<br>I used to work with a gymnastics coach who would hold me down while i split with all his weight, he&apos;s a very tall and masculine man so he was heavy and i was 6. He didn&apos;t stop until i got a serious injury and i couldn&apos;t split for nine years! And he used to smack my backside if my form was wrong in a hand stand (you have to clench your backside in a handstand)which i thought was okay even though i felt really uncomfortable.until my dad told me how inappropriate it is so the next time the coach did that i cried so he acted all confused and asked another girl he smacked &quot;why is she crying it doesn&apos;t even hurt, right?&quot; It&apos;s not about the fact that it was painful it&apos;s about the fact that it was inappropriate and i felt uncomfortable.

  &quot;You can be strict and kind at the same time!&quot; YES! 100% THIS! (Musician and music teacher here).

  Love your classes so much Alisa! You always help me better understand exactly what I have to do to progress, and most importantly I walk out feeling so motivated and inspired to work on it all instead of feeling berated or defeated. Thank you for your all your help! Love you so much and can’t wait for next time!! ❤❤❤

  Thank you for posting this! <br><br>More and more teachers as well as students need to see and hear the truth. Abuse and bullying do NOT build character, NO, NEVER, NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. <br><br>Say NO to body shaming! <br>Say NO to yelling and threatening! <br>Say NO to domineering! <br>Say NO to gaslighting! <br>Say NO to passive-aggressiveness! <br>Say NO to weigh-ins! <br><br>Say YES to dancers’ health and safety, and YES to putting both on the same level as their progress in training.

  I 100% agree with you. I would feel horrible if I treated a child this way. Screaming or being rude is easier that being strict and kind.

  This applies to school teachers as well, I think. Ive had strict teachers who Ive learned so much from, who I respect so much, who I have only praise for. And Ive had mean, nasty, cruel teachers and its so hard to learn anything when you&apos;re afraid of making any little error and setting them off. If you&apos;re afraid of making any mistake you won&apos;t do your best, but you&apos;ll try to make yourself small enough that they can&apos;t see you, and you can&apos;t improve anything that way.

  Все верно, никогда не понимала агрессивных учителей /тренеров... Странно, что взрослые сами не видят как некорректны их срывы на детях/подопечных. Скорректировать и подсказать ничего не стоит и это всегда можно сделать без агрессии и унижения

  This is precisely about the kind of person the teacher is inside 🙂☝🏻

  Teacher&apos;s that are acting this way just show that they don&apos;t care of theirs students, they don&apos;t want to understand why they don&apos;t understand this move or how to do it, they just abused them until they leave or succeed. This isn&apos;t the proper way to teach, in any way, in any kind of activities.<br>I&apos;m personally a dog groomer and i see a lot of people that give up because their teacher are just the worst. Some people take more time than other it&apos;s ok. I say if a willing student fail it&apos;s not their fault it&apos;s the teacher fault

  This engineer who works for this airplane factory; Fairfield-Dornier in Florida even has artistic talent as well, every music and dancing as well that look even into this. He is even nice and kind to everyone or almost anyone. &nbsp;Some boys are not like the boys will be boys and would incredibly naturally listen to girls and some even look at beautiful girls even with their hair in pig tails as nannies and not like boys do and like lots of girls do. Look even into nannies today that they or some of them now days work with special people as well as raising other people&apos;s children. &nbsp;Some of the performances they even did have one boy there as he&apos;s so special not to even get jealous of him as well. Some boys as well as girls probably would come up with fancy small airplane models like this engineer working directly for Fairfield-Dornier, this factory in Florida came up with the new version of the 328 jet models, twin otter planes with larger jet engines, and etc. These models are made out of special metal that doesn&apos;t rust and even in this factory is polished liked jewelry that are the special metals, even these engines on the inside that happen to be jet engines as what goes with this special metal or else it can get ruined. Special models need to be treated without respect for these reasons, because this is the way it has been manufactured. Lots of kids&apos; parents are even abusive for this talent as well and even wearing protective gloves working on these airplanes, especially repairing as well. Some even have the talent in music videos repairing and maintaining these airplanes that are special models, but softer and the same movements as classical music and even ballet music as well. Some even with flying these planes and used for sightseeing tours and charter flights flying out of general aviation airports like for small airplanes and some with commercial flights in some music videos and even singing as well that might be some aircraft designers talent in putting it together. Lots of them do not understand that these are real airplanes that are so unique as well. Look even into this manufacturer; Fairfield-Dornier making these airline models and I think you might like this engineer who works there as well. Some people, especially the kids&apos; parents want to threaten him for this unique artistic talent design of this small airplane model with larger jet engines he comes up with. Maybe on stage would even look beautiful to show that dancers dancing, even ballet as well in front of this airplane model as well. <br><br>David
