Bad boys, bad boys, whatca gonna do....

SWOT is busting a meth lab two blocks down the street from our office right now.  Cool. 

My post for today is about the kids that will grow up to be the ones getting busted.  Specifically the little brats in Elle's swim lessons.  The poor teacher spends the entire class trying to corral these bratty kids instead of teaching, and Elle doesn't learn a thing unless you count new brat techniques.  The worst part:  their parents just sit there and watch as their kids run, dive, splash and basically ignore the instructor.  I think I heard the poor woman say, 'Cooper, get on the wall.  No Cooper.  Stop Cooper." about 50 times.  Elle is still nervous in the water and instead of the teacher helping her overcome that she is chasing down brats in all directions.  It is a waste of our time and money.  If my kid got up to run away (which she did a few times) I got up and took her back where she was supposed to be sitting, and discussed the importance of minding the teacher.  Not hard.  All the other parents watched me do this but didn't even move a muscle while their kids "swam" off into the deep end.  Not the slightest bit concerned that their 3-year old is not unaccompanied in the deep end of a swimming pool while the teacher chases another one in the opposite direction.
