Walk the Talk, please

Today....was a disaster.
There was a workshop ....I can't put the title here...for fear that if someone googles this, and stumbles across what I have to say, well...lets say that the consequences would not be pleasant.

But come on...
The group is made up of professional educators.
Granted, it is the holidays, and the idea of having to attend 2 full days workshop is just as exciting as having a root canal dental work done on you....

But this course is about ____________....meaning, that, you, as the 'expert', is supposed to help us in our journey towards that goal.

Yet...
The trainer is the anti-thesis of what is being said.
Never had a whole room of professionals made to feel as if we are transported back into the classroom, and treated as if we are the naive, illiterate children.

The trainer felt that the momentum was not right...
Yet...again, blamed the participants.
And we...being too polite,
Did not want to tell the truth to your face.

Do you know why?
You once held one of the highest position possible in our line of work
...yet now, you are sadly out of touch.
The very things you tell us not to do with our students,
...are the very things that you are doing to us.

Sad...sad...sad...

Dear God,
Twenty years down the road...please do not let me become that....
