Now things are getting to normal again, I have more time to write again. It feels good I have the time to comment again and to read about all things that that bother you all. I noticed AJ posted quite some things here. Fredo and Martin were great in posting a lot of things daily but I must admit AJ is in the race for "who blogs the most daily" as well (kidding now, pls go on with it Aaron).

Every year in May and June I teach employees of a supermarket concern here in the neighbourhood. Yesterday was my second class already this year. I always like teaching there a lot but yesterday was different.
The "students" there (employees of the supermarket) are always very motivated. Problem always is that because I have so little time for them I need to do a lot in just one morning. There is not much time left for practising and asking question. What I teach in one morning there I teach in 8 weeks for 3 hours normally in school here. There is a lot to do for them at home. I do that for years now and there never was a problem till yesterday.
They had an exam and it wasn't made very well. 7 of 30 failed cause of difficult economic calculations they had to make. Well for me no problem, the exam was perhaps rather difficult but in my opinion they all started to late with learning. They started complaining to their manager, who came complaining to me. My teaching wasn't right and I teached all too quick. Well I told him I do the same thing now for about 6 years and never had complaints. The program needs just more time but the company don't give more time for it so, yes, I need to do it all quite quick because if I don't, they will not get all things explained at all. The manager didn't mention the thing that it was rather a group of employees not very smart. I always do 2 groups, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. The "afternoon"-group all passed btw.
I drove home with a rather unsatisfied feeling, specially the note I would not have been teaching good was part of that feeling.

Today I explained all to my manager and she could totally understand my feelings. She knows I teach well ( I can say that about myself lol) and she asked me not to bother. Well I wont bother anymore but I already know that the next meeting I will have there with the same results and comments will make me decide quitting teaching there (or the management there will be spending more time for the course).

I contacted the manager of the supermarket today and we decided there will be another exam on June 17 for those who failed. Costs me extra time but ok if that makes the feeling better there......
