It's Nothing Personal... I hope.

Another kid just quit chorus. And I have to say that if I was in that class I would quit too. But it is disheartening. It makes me feel like I am a terrible teacher because I can't instill in them a love of music. I feel like a terrible teacher because my program is not growing. It is shrinking! (Ok... that is a bit dramatic. I doubled the amount of 7th graders this year from the amount of 7th graders I had last year) Someone once told me that there is always ebb and flow in music programs. Some years are good and some years are not as good.
