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.
