[Nfb-krafters-korner] FW: Lab Pony bead Class

[Powers, Terry (NIH/NCI) [E]]

The reason we have this policy is so people will not just sign up and not attend and expect to get the patern.  The teacher goes to a lot of work preparing the class to not have any or just a few students, show up.    I can see a student calling the teacher, with a good reason, illness or the like.  It is up to the teacher if they are willing to still give out the class imfo.  Most are willing if you have a good reason for missing class.
Everyone, don't take what cathy and I have said, to heart.  Just think how you would feal or what you would do, if you were the teacher. 
Remember,  these teachers are teaching you, voluntarily. They like to see success in their students and that brings them satisfaction, in their ability to teach!

 Hi, I don't think anyone should be denied the patterns since they have paid their dues to the organization. It is hard to get on the phone calls no matter what time they are offered. It is easier to have email classes although sometimes instruction individually
