    2. A suggestion / feedback I received was about being sure teachers have enough time for lesson and I know I broke that rule Sunday. Also same person said as long as they “have been members of the class, there has been no indication that the class was highly structured. I do not think it needs tobe … becausewith few written rules or guidelines … officers are free to create or revise as they feel appropriate … and bring anything new or revised before class for discussion and approval…” I agree with most of that but I hope we can determine a central location for any decisions and have them available for future classes.
    3. Any other feedback?
