In reply to: German 's message, "history of WIDA" on Thu, Sep 20 2007, 15:57:12

Since his TCRG was revoked he started WIDA. He was a good teacher, and I'm sure he still is; he is just low on ethics and probably found it very easy to gather together all of the dancers and non-cert teachers into one organization - everybody wants to belong to something, or wants more than they have, and he very smoothly provided it. There are good and bad teachers here, but for every one of them the process of learning and testing for their TCRG takes many years and lots of knowlege - and that is something that he could not have provided to the WIDA teachers. Establishing WIDA was a means to a livelihood (since he lost everything in the court battle here) and a way to thumb his nose at the governing body that he used to belong to. It is good for him that he is an entrepeneur, but bad for your male children and for anyone who might think that he won't do this again. If sex with underage boys is not as abhorrent in Europe as it is in the US, then he has found a good home for himself and it will be up to every parent to watch him. He is not the kind and wonderful man that he seems to be.
