forty percent

Today I was supposed to teach ten students. I taught four, and one of those had her last lesson today. one cancelled earlier this week, which is fine (sucks for me, but at least they gave me suitable notice). One cancelled the day of, so they'll still pay, another cancelled hours before her lesson, she skipped lesson to go to happy hour (really, don't admit this to the teacher, I don't want to know that, just say you can't make it, because you're still paying anyway). Which means that three others just didn't show. Not cool. And it's been happening a lot lately. So I'm freaking sick and tired of it and erased their asses. New policy: Don't show, lose time slot. I don't care why you didn't show, it's rude, inconsiderate, and inexcusable. If you want to take lessons again, sign up, but be prepared to pay for the lesson you missed and pay for the rest of the month in advance at the beginning of the lesson. I don't want to spend the first fifteen minutes of my next student's lesson arguing with you about paying for the missed lesson. That's it. Period.

four out of ten. sucks.

In other news, I should be getting an email from the head of the csu summer arts about what to write and so forth, which I only know because I asked since I write so slow, I figured any head start would help. He wrote to tell me another email would be coming soon, though since it's almost a week away, that doesn't seem like it'll give me much of a heads up. oh well.
