I have complained since we started violin about how UNpunctual Liam’s teacher is. I mean REALLY unpunctual…it’s like she has no sense of time. If your lesson is supposed to start at 1:30, you will be lucky to start by 2:15-that’s on a good day. And she never apologizes or even acknowledges that she is late…EVER!!! That’s not including travel time there and back. So basically, about a quarter of your day gets sucked up by violin lessons. That has been okay and I have managed to tolerate it for the past two+ years because she is so good with Liam. And remember, only Liam plays right now. Colm is going to start soon…can you imagine how much time is going to be wasted just WAITING for our lessons to start???? So, tomorrow I am going to go observe another teacher. I interviewed her over the phone and she sounds good. I couldn’t come up with a polite way to ask her if she is punctual though. I guess we’ll see if she in on schedule when I go to observe the lesson tomorrow. Another reason why we are thinking about switching is because of kindergarten. Liam won’t even get out of kinder until 3:45. Group lessons begin (or atleast they are supposed to begin) at 3:30ish. By the time I wait in the carpool line and drive all the way to his lesson, they will have missed half, if not all of the group lesson. Not to mention that I am going to be in a mad rush to get them from point A to point B every Monday…I don’t want that. Another bonus is she costs about half us much. Money talks, folks.
