<i>I can appreciate that but if all classes around the same time mean
others can never make it is that fair? A good turn out needs to occur for
as many people as possible time wise.<br>
</i>I enjoyed the two I tried to be a part of but it was hard for me and
I seriously have to question if I can attend more at that time. I'd love
to though.<br>
What if you had to attend at least two classes before being allowed to be
part of one but not real there?<br>
I'd love to be there as far as really hearing and asking questions.<br>
I know it is hard to please all and you cannot but if different times are
offered then it might encourage people to try.<br>
Also I am very new to this list and classes so haven't had a chance to
benefit much from them but have considered this option for a few
months.<br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">My point is that I know I have
offered alternate days and times but there are people that claim they
just can't do it for whatever reason. That is an individual's
choice as to how they spend their time and work out issues in life.
I have a life, family and husband to along with houshold duties &
responsibilities that need tending to just as others do. When a
class is offered I can either make the time and clear my schedule for 1
or two hours (not a huge amount of time) or I can choose to not take the
class. I would not make everyone else alter classes to accomodate
my individual issues.<br><br>
As an instructor, my personal feeling on the matter is that I don't want
to teach to a recording or allow the class materials I've put a lot of
time & effort into preparing as well as my own expertese on a topic
to just be handed out to people who haven't made the effort to attend and
participate with the rest of the people in a class.<br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">I agree that sometimes you need
to be able to work out what works for an instructor but it depends on why
you cannot make a class.<br>
For me 5 my time is hard because as much as I want to take classes it is
dinner hour and I have a family to think of and homework with young kids
so should I not be allowed to benefit because of responsibilities like
this?<br>
I think if a person could check in and get the recordings later or if two
times were available that would be helpful.<br>

Yes, thank you I am in total agreement. It is impossible to meet
everyone's needs. Anytime I have taken classes I arranged my
schedule acordingly and did not expect the school or instructor to go
through changes to make it just so for me. When you want to learn
or do something its up to the individual to make it happen for
themselves.<br><br>
In the past I offered doing classes on either Saturday's or Sundays
either afternoon or evening but no one was willing to make a 1 or 2 hour
opening for a weekend. That says to me they did not want to do it
all that badly. Everyone has other things going on in their lives
including the people teaching so let's be reasonable about the time
slots.<br><br>
Personally, I very strongly object to giving out recordings to people who
will not take the time to participate with the group or phone chats or
phone classes. Just giving out the recordings without attendance
will ruin the workings of how classes work. We all learn from
others questions and input during the classes. Attendance is what makes
the group and classes enjoyable. I don't want to sit and
lecture at a recording machine with no living being on the other
end.<br><br>

I have been following all the interesting comments about time for
lessons,<br>
and really do not know how you can please everyone, the hard decisions
have<br>
to come from leadship. I can do about every time frame, days are
difficult<br>
as now new year training like Freedom Science if, computer training.<br>
However, if I want to learn a new idea, I arrange and plan for
it.<br><br>
