"Visited this centre many times for table"

6 years ago

I have visited this centre many times for Table Tennis drop-in. Occasionally the designated court can get very busy and full, however the rec staff were always willing to open the Squash court for us to use for Table Tennis, during all the times I visited. Drop-in price is quite favourable here, student discounts available. It is a slightly older complex with the age showing, however it is still a very nice centre for their location.

"Hi carol didn know"

1 year ago

Hi Carol, I didn’t know if you were going to respond to the ambiguous and incomplete report I sent you. I hope you find that there is nothing in this report that clearly states, “you failed”, except one must deduce “Please register in: Crab” as “you failed”. I am writing not about Kenny the instructor, he is just doing what he is told to do - your playbook. The concern I have is with the lack of teaching experience from leadership. If your program cannot at least get perhaps the primary skill of dunking accomplished in 7 days, then the fault lies in the program not the instructor. No sense teaching a toddler to run, if the toddler cannot even walk yet. I also wonder if you have visited the site in person, especially when the classes end/start. It is a “zoo” according to one of your lifeguards. I am also sure that the Fire Marshall would not be too pleased about that single entry/exit way. No reason, when swimmers are finished that they cannot exit through the changing rooms – seems logical since the swimmers most often than not, are still wet. Rather than push quantity over quality, allow a gap for the instructors to properly convey feedback after each session as opposed to figuring out the next class among the “zoo” of individuals. I am here to express my personal hurt when my daughter is waiting for the instructor that is playing and she is sitting there all by herself. Your offer was disrespectful and would have been a waste of everyone’s time. I shared this with the preschool headmaster and she concurs. Again, I am not here to ask for $70 which by the way you never even attempted to offer. I know I would have done it if I were in your shoes as that is the politest action to take. You never truly heard what I was/am saying. You just wanted to defend yourself/your team/your upstairs management that there was nothing wrong with your instructor’s evaluation. Again, all you were concerned with on the call was to defend and not address the broken issues you have with your program and its process and procedures. I do not know if you have teaching in your resume/blood, but I do – been doing it for over 25 years. Each semester, I re-evaluate my materials and delivery after each class, and see if I need to tweak anything before the next class and/or the next semester. I am always looking to make it better. I am always looking to see how I can improve my delivery for them to achieve the objectives they paid to learn. Cardinal rule as an instructor, judge yourself before you defend yourself. Lastly, I pulled my older daughter after one class today - yes today - because I saw the same things about to happen after her first class.
