[Nfb-krafters-korner] classes & membership

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

Cortney;
I must have missed that message in my back log of messages.  Very well said.  I have been trying to explain the idea about different teachers with my experiences with crochet.
Also, the repeat of classes is good, not only for the new comers, but those who are new at something and want a refresher.

Courtney,
I like the point you made that a student may not learn as well from one instructor as they might from another instructor.  Keep that in mind everyone.  If you took a class before and had trouble or didn't catch on, don't give up!  Maybe another instructor might just say something in a way that makes it click for you!!!

Also, a student may not learn as well from one instructor as they might from another instructor & that student would have to only wait three months before the class would be taught again & not have to wait a year or longer.

This is just something to keep in mind & consider.
