After teaching piano, organ, and keyboard for over 30 years, I finally gave it up last year. There just aren’t many students like K.C. Fahel and her daughter anymore. My parents made me practice for 30 mins every day no matter what and while I hated it at the time, I earned enough in my first three years teaching music (I started teaching at age 15) that I bought my first car brand new with cash and paid for my own college education including room and board. Times have changed. Parents are so afraid they will alienate their children if they set boundaries that they are sacrificing far more than they realize at their childrens’ expense.
Remember folks, these strips are from the 80s. In 2008 Lynn retired FBOW and the syndicate started rerunning them from the beginning. That’s why some of the story lines are dated.
Amen!
