There are x number of other students who did come excited, well prepared and well in time to allow the class to start on time. If the student had taken a class from the teacher described and didn't learn anything perhaps she should'nt sign up again.
My point is defending the teacher....the only thing said above was
I have to agree that you have a point about being late and not prepared yourself. As a student I think a person needs to be on time and prepared for the class. I also know there are teachers, people out there who are ready to put you down about anything. I hand quilt and my stitches are oft times not evenly spaced and sometimes are crooked but so be it! I try to make them perfect but I'm just not perfect yet!


"she seemed disturbed and said "more than 1"? What would you have said. Now the statement about "having something against her", doesn't give any definitive info so we don't know what was said.

I read this as a self confession and a reminder to the rest of us to: arrive on time and prepared with supplies required and with a positive attitude.

and one more point.....we teachers are not the quilt police we are learned instructors , considerate and respectful guides of the craft you love.

I'm not sure I understand the meaning of the post. Will someone enlighten us
