My son's drum teacher broke up with us today.
I mean, it was never a great fit--the guy was not especially patient, and realistically Minifob would have quit eventually because he didn't have any passion behind it... but we were content to let him have fun in the meantime, and he was actually practicing, which is more than we ever managed with any other extracurricular activities.
But Minifob was having a rough day, and got pushed to tears during the lesson, and said he didn't really like drums anymore, and the guy immediately snapped up the opportunity to tell me, "Welp, looks like it isn't working out. It's fine, it's not for everyone."
I mean it's fine, because he's basically just saved me the trouble of politely firing him in another 6 months to a year. But I can't help but bristle at the fact that he effectively said, "You couldn't pay me to work with that kid."
