[Nfb-krafters-korner] Patterns & classes

[marianne]

I don't think she was talking about people who make suggestions about
classes they would like but are complaining about a specific class that is
being taught. I think suggestions on classes people would like to have are
good suggestions and teachers will take those suggestions into consideration
when planning their classes.

I not sure why there is complaining. Ramona said she would teach both a
beginner and an advanced.  Was I wrong ireally appreciate the opportunity to
have something besides basic classes. I only let my specific desires be
known while it is in the planning stages. I will keep silent from now on and
either take the class being offered or not.
