WARRIOR - Continued From Front they are working on a new schedule of training times and will also be looking to of fer self defense training spe cifically for teachers and bus drivers, a much safer alterna tive to arming our educators with firearms. Even if you feel that a phys ical ailment may keep you from taking classes with the academy Stubbs says that it is recommended by doctors and can help with whatever ail ment or illness a person may be dealing with. It is especial ly recommended for children with asthma and developmen tal issues and the couple has experience teaching children diagnosed with ADHD, ADD, Aspergers spectrum, blind ness, diabetes, and asthma. Mrs. Stubbs is especially confident in her husband Master Stubbs’ ability to teach children and states that “he seems to have a God sent ability” to speak to them so that they understand. Some students attend the classes at tempting to overcome shyness or to acquire better self-confi dence. The couple work under and old strategies helped us improve tremendously in our EOCT scores over the past three years,” Campbell stated. Although the entire school can take credit for the success, Campbell says that the teachers in the four content areas (Math, Science, English and Social Studies) deserve much of the credit. The teachers whose stu dents improved the most are Amanda Hodges and David Is- real (Physical Science), Aman da Puckett and Laura Meldrum (Biology), Lauren Johnson and Craig Puckett (Math I), Mary Kirksey (Math II), James Moore (US History), Michael Yaughn and Rodney Crutchfield (Eco nomics), Holly DeFore and Derick Smith (English 9), and Amanda Garnett (American Literature). Some improve ments from these classrooms were very significant showing double-digit increases. “One of our main points of em phasis last year and this year is parent involvement. We want the parents to be as involved as possible in their child’s edu cation,” Campbell stated, put ting part of the importance of continued success on parent involvement. The Teachers-As-Advisors program has enabled teachers to stay in close contact with parents. Cheryl Whitaker, the school’s parent involvement chairperson, holds parent meeting at the high school and the student information system includes a parent portal so that parents can view their child’s attendance, grades, and behav ior. “The main thing is for par ents to stay involved. When students get to high school, it is difficult for most parents to help them with homework be cause things have changed so dramatically since they were in school,” Campbell said. “Still, parents can support their child to see that all graduation re quirements are met, tutorials are attended if necessary, col lege applications are sent, and financial aid is applied for. Our goal is to make high school a meaningful and rewarding ex perience for all students while preparing them for college and careers.” Campbell says that commu nication is key in the contin ued success of the high school. They must communicate with the state department to stay abreast of all changes and man dates, which are constant. The administrators have to com municate these changes to the teachers so that they have the tools to prepare the students for standardized tests. They also plan to work harder to keep these lines of communication open between the school and parents and grandparents so that students’ opportunities are maximized.

As they celebrate their fourth anniversary in Rober ta, the couple is very excited about their move into their new building and the promise of even more growth. Train ing in the martial arts is a life long skill that provides skills helpful in being successful in other activities. Being a devel opmental activity, rather than an extracurricular, it rarely conflicts with other scheduled activities for children (such as sports, other classes, etc.). The most important lesson the couple wish to teach students and families is how to defend themselves. “I’m not training you to fight. I’m training you to de fend yourself,” Sa Bom Nim (Master Instructor) Stubbs stated. “The most important fight you’ll ever have is for your life and I want you to be ready.” No matter what your age or ailment, The Korean Martial Arts Academy is there to train you to defend your home, your family and yourself when the need arises, as well as teach ing you the peace and seren ity that comes with being a “Peaceful Warrior.” To find out more about how to join the Academy you can call 478-719-2800 or email TKMAA_Ga@yahoo.com.
