For Immediate Release- Allen, TX LOCAL KARATE SCHOOL TEACHES CHARACTER BUILDING TRAITS AT STORY ELEMENTARY
Story Elementary hosted the “Kids of Character” last week for three days during their PE classes. Mark McGee, owner of Mile High Karate, says “Story elementary has always played a major part in promoting strong character skills and many of our students come from this exemplary school.” Teaching children the values of discipline, moral strength, and ethics has long been a community project by Master McGee. He volunteers, along with his staff, over 200 hours per year to local schools teaching this one of a kind program.
“The students, teachers, and administration of Story were very supportive when we came out and the students were extremely receptive to our teaching style,” says McGee. With all the negative stereotypes seen on TV and in other media, children can take on the bad traits of speaking out of turn, talking bad about others, and being rude to adults; especially since these are the way kids and teens are portrayed on television.
Kids of Character Imparts a positive message to kids and being honest with them is the best way to show respect to them [the children]. Adults, too, need to show respect to one another and not speak poorly of others, especially in front of their children. Holding your child accountable for their actions will go a long way in improving self respect and then encourage them to have to discipline to follow through on projects.
