Case Study 3 And Professional Ethics

I found Case Study three interesting and relatable to my practice. I thought about the ethical issues that arose and whether the teaching methods were ethical in any form.
My first thought developed when the owner of the school stated that, what the teachers do in their class is their business and to my understanding safe dance practice did not concern him. He thought of this as a business only and more business equals more money.
This to me is a business way of thinking and to look at it objectively with no bias, many others may say, once the teachers renting have the correct insurance and DBS checks that is all that matters. However, similar to a blog I recently wrote, in order to maintain high standards and to ensure his studios have a good reputation, I believe he should be checking that the teachers have carried out the correct training qualifications and are knowledgeable in the subject they are teaching.
Also, he should want to create a professional and respectful rapport between himself and the teachers renting the studios. If he gives the impression that he doesn't care,  then why should the teachers care about respecting the property or the owner himself. This may have a knock on effect in terms of hygiene standards and leaving the studios as they are.
The next ethical issue that arose was how one teacher did not carry out a sufficient warm up or any cool down for the students. This again is relatable to the issue of teachers not having sufficient teaching qualifications or knowledge of safe dance practice. As a teacher I am aware how precious time is during a class. especially when trying to prepare children for exams or completing show work. However, a warm up is so important for children of all ages for so many reason and it also creates a good habit for children as they will then know how to warm themselves up if necessary.
The next ethical issue, another teacher upset one of his pupils by belittling them. To belittle a child does them absolutely no good. He stated that it was "preparing her for the real world" Confidence in young children should only be encouraged and is the teacher's job to try and boost confidence.
