I think it's kind of arrogant for teachers to "take credit" for their students' successes. What if the student had a great voice before they started with the teacher? Conversely, how does this make teachers who work with beginners or slow developers look? I think if anyone is to assign credit (or blame), it should be the student and the student alone. After all, it is the student who knows how much the teacher has helped them. It is also the student who has done the work!
Jennifer, who will happily assign mounds of credit to her fantastic last teacher, but will give none to either of the two who taught her prior (both of whom would have qualified under the eight month rule) - in fact, I'd be darn ticked if they took credit for how I turned out!
