Is there another way to deal with this?
I started a free community course, this is for sewing.
I mentioned to the tutor that I had a deadline for the jacket.
This was the 10th June.
The dates are as follows (Monday only)
10 Jan - 28 March 22...
Which is 11weeks exactly.
In January we started a jacket I finished the jacket the 24th May.
I completed my jacket, by working on it at home, and watching YouTube tutorials.
The reason being was that I noticed the tutor kept being too busy attending to the other students.
Where she is stretched rather thin.
I didn't complain as I knew other students needed the help.
So I used my initiative so I could complete by my deadline. As there were a few weeks there were nothing had actually moved on.
We were asked to resign up to the course on :
25 Apr 2022 to 18 Jul 2022
Mon 10:00-13:00
11 weeks
This then means this is a new term and we should be completing something new.
As you can see there is overlap.
From the 24th May until now I have had nothing new set out for me. So I took a dress in with me and asked for guidance on how to adjust it, she shouted at me saying she would only help me work on things I'm making in the class, so I told her my jacket was in the dry cleaners, as the event was this Friday which was true. She half heartedly and reluctantly helped me.
Even then it wasn't right, I had to figure it out for myself...
When I sent her the photos she asked me for permission to post the dress and jacket on the council run online portal. (she implied it was to showcase my work)
I needed to have a full close up of special details I had sewn in, plus she wanted me to give details as to what points of reference I used to help me complete the jacket and dress.
Basically the YouTube videos I watched.
She didn't set me a deadline and I told her that I was away for the week, but would do so when I returned.
She then text me a few days later asking if I could still do it as it was needed the Thursday.
So I reminded her that I was away and I couldnt do so as I didn't realise the deadline was Thursday.
When I returned to class the following week she yelled at me, wheres your jacket? Wheres your work?
So I told her I had completed the jacket and was now waiting to move on to my next task as it was finished.
She for some reason said, "aren't we supposed to making adjustments to your jacket?"
So I said" no, that was finished weeks ago".
The party was the 11th June.
She walked off, only to return 10 mins later almost like she had a fresh head on.
She then asked me to complete the final design drawing with swatches of fabric. Which I did.
I returned the following week with a pattern for a pair of trousers, I wanted to make of my own because I didn't want to be on my own doing nothing and fall behind.
She said to me that was OK, but not to worry as I'm not behind as I'm actually ahead of task, next term I can start the tailored trousers with the other students.
Part of the way through she came over to interrupt me and tell me I was attempting to sew the seam wrong.
Which threw me off. Anyways when I got home I watched the YouTube video, it turned out she was wrong and all I had sewn, now needed to be redone.
Had I followed my own mind I would have finished the trousers that day.
I started to work on a top and she didn't bother to come and see the students in the room I was in as she was more focused on the new starters In the main room.
Over the last few weeks shes been putting me in a room away from the rest of the class with a select few of others students (the ones she mostly complains about, not doing their work or not bringing things in or chatting too much)
As I have had nothing to do, the other women while waiting have been asking me for help. But the moment I offer advice they either say "thank you but I think I'll wait for the teacher" , or they just keep bombarding me with questions.
There's one woman in the room who quite irritatingly doesn't know how to work on her own work.
She flitters around the room watching what others are doing in an attempt to engage in conversation.
Sometimes she stages things to have something to talk about, like not setting up her machine properly and drawing attention to herself.
"look ladies, I'm such a silly sausage, what have I forgotten to do??"
In this case it was, not thread the machine with the top thread.
It's frustrating and quite tiresome being sat doing nothing when she says we're not allowed to use our phone or talk, so I feel like I've been put in the naughty room.
I didn't attend for 2 weeks and the course ends next Monday. I text her to say I couldn't come in, then this week I decided to just tell her that I would return when the new terms starts.
So she can focus on the other students and I can learn the tailored trousers with the others.
Hi , with reference to your message above, the class is not a drop in session where learners can drop in when they feel like it. The class is for 11 weeks per term and everyone is expected to attend for 11 weeks. At times unforseen circumstances may arise, where a learner is forced to be absent and that is understandable. So in effect, you are expected to attend all classes unless there is a legitimate reason for you not to do so.
I'm still yet to reply. But I checked the terms and conditions and i have followed the rules by letting her know of my absence and I also text her to tell her why I wouldn't attend the last week.
