Did she use a ruler?  My husband said that is how he learned to pay  
attention in school.

Just  because a person can do something very well, does not mean they are 
GOOD  teachers!  I studied pottery in college, too, and the instructor 
never  
came near anyone's clay or work on the wheel or otherwise. It is not done  
- 
and you would have learned nothing if you did not learn to center your  
clay 
yourself. It all begins with learning that, and it can take you many  
hours, 
days, weeks to just learn that ONE thing. The next thing you have  to learn 
well, is how to make it into a cylindar. If you cannot make a  cylindar, 
you 
can never go forward to make anything else. It takes a LOT  of time and a 
LOT 
of practice, so do not feel badly.  I think it is  awesome that you even 
tried like you did. Don't let that bad experience  stop you from moving on 
- 
there are GOOD teachers out there who are  patient and who want to have ALL 
their students do well in their classes.  My teacher the past four years is 
a 
NUN, so I was really LUCKY to have her  instructing me -
