There has been a lot of debate within the LeRoc Federation about qualifications.
My own opinion is that the LeRoc Federation don't make enough of a fuss about the value of learning from a qualified teacher.
I have no hidden agenda on this subject. My agenda is out in the open. I think Modern Jive teachers should be trained and examined on how well they perform. Ceroc do this internally. LeRoc Federation members are examined by trained examiners.
I've been trying to think of an area outside Modern Jive where there is such a lack of qualifications. Even hairdressers are mostly qualified. Outside Ceroc Modern Jive teachers are mostly not qualified. Many of them are not even trained!
But members of the public still attend classes run by these untrained, unqualified cowboys.
Here are your questions;
Why do the public attend classes run by untrained unexamined teachers?
Why do venue owners let dance teachers with no qualifications use their premises?
Is there anything we can do to promote the need for classes to be taught by teachers who have been trained and examined?
Are there any laws or government guidelines on physical education from unqualified teachers?
Can you think of any area that has moved from being operated by amateurs to being operated by qualified professionals?
What should I be doing about is as well as starting this thread?
