Criticisms
The current training system of KRS is handled by officers who are teachers at the same time. Unlike other youth organizations like Scouts (Rover Scouts, King Scouts, etc.), all the officer ranks are exclusively reserved for teachers only. Many of them attended a few days courses/seminars which is not sufficient enough to teach the cadets. There is no intakes/courses available for the cadets who graduated in their secondary school. Although various associations are established to enable the ex-members to continue serving their units, most of them are corcerning about their own respective schools' cadet corps only and the changes they made are not applicable to other schools no matter how constructive they are. There is no official association, rankings and system for graduated members. There is a call to establish a system for adult members and open the officer ranks to them. By doing so, many experienced ex-members will continue to serve the unit and share the burden of the teachers. Some suggestions are focused on making the teachers as advisors only and the part/full-time instructor will handle the training for the cadets.

Famous quotes containing the word criticisms:
“I have no concern with any economic criticisms of the communist system; I cannot enquire into whether the abolition of private property is expedient or advantageous. But I am able to recognize that the psychological premises on which the system is based are an untenable illusion. In abolishing private property we deprive the human love of aggression of one of its instruments ... but we have in no way altered the differences in power and influence which are misused by aggressiveness.”
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
“The sway of alcohol over mankind is unquestionably due to its power to stimulate the mystical faculties of human nature, usually crushed to earth by the cold facts and dry criticisms of the sober hour. Sobriety diminishes, discriminates, and says no; drunkenness expands, unites, and says yes.”
—William James (1842–1910)
