Please fire me. I teach children to swim at a local health club, and it’s not the children that are the problem, it’s their parents. Honestly, I have 3-10 kids at a time to take care of depending on the class. I do NOT have time to keep a special eye on your precious baby angel. If you want one-on-one lessons, you’re gonna have to pay for them.

Also, when I don’t pass your kid into the next level, don’t yell at me and tell me I’m a bad teacher. I’ll just get one of the other instructors to verify my decision. You won’t win, and you’ll make yourself look like a moron.

Also, don’t ever come up to me and say anything along the lines of “as a mother, I wasn’t comfortable with them doing that” or “as a mother, I think you shouldn’t do that” because it’s always the mothers. Listen lady, I have a list of stuff your child needs to complete to pass. Let me do my job. If you don’t like it, teach your own demon child to swim.

And finally, if you have a child who can’t go to the bathroom themselves, DON’T LEAVE THE POOL ROOM! I can’t just stop my class and take them to the bathroom because you left. And if I have an aid during the class so someone CAN take your kid to the bathroom, don’t you dare yell at them saying it was inappropriate or whatever. You left. Your kid had to go to the bathroom. What were we supposed to do? Idiots.
