6. I know. My wife's a life-long teacher and she's had some real cases.

She also teaches karate and a lot of kids just don't cut it in the discipline department and/or dedication department. A lot of them are only in it for the black belt and then drop out and probably never practice again. She's a 3rd degree and all three of my daughters are 2nd degrees. It takes progressively longer after 1st degree for each next degree, and that's a good thing. The grand master basically views black belt the way most people view white belt - just getting started.
