So, today is the day I assign everyone their lesson time. I thought everything was going fine until I got an e mail reply from the parent of a student that had only given me one suggestion of a time (rather than 2nd, 3rd, and 4th choice), telling me that is wasn’t about seniority, but about whether her son could attend. The other person who wants the same time has taken from me for 6 years, which is 5 years longer than the kid in question. So, do I give in and give her that time and bump David to his second choice? Of course not. So I lose a student, but maybe it is just as well. I really don’t like working with people who think the world revolves around them. Her son really showed promise, though, so I’m sad I won’t have him back this year. But, then again, he was the only student I ever actually yelled at, because he gets so hyper and argumentative some days.
Oh, well. Life goes on. I have 10 signed up, plus I’ll have 3 in Cameron and I haven’t assigned them times yet.
oooh! That’s exciting to have that almost done! 🙂 and how frustrating about that other student–grrrr…. why can’t people follow the rules?
Good. So it’s not just me!
