😭😭 got told by one of the kids that they wished they'd never signed up for the crochet class. To be fair, she did tell me that she thought they'd be playing with crochet things and not learning to crochet. She's my one student that I can not get through to that you have to start at the beginning and that part is BORING. My aides who have been teaching classes for quite a while say that I'm not bombing it, and some of the kids have come so far in our limited amount of time. Feeling down on myself and trying to think outside the box for reaching my tough student. #crochet #crochetstr

I hear you. Misunderstandings happen. Explain the value of the class again and perhaps offer a sample project to spark interest.

She's clearly an idiot. Who would think pottery class involves playing with finished pots? Nobody worth one's time.

Give her a finished-object win fast. A chain-stitch bracelet or finger-knit cord takes fifteen minutes and she walks out with something real. Once a kid owns a finished piece, the boring foundation suddenly has a reason to exist. Sequence beats motivation every time.

My girly queen, I have worked with kiddos for multiple years long and still never reached them. I got a master’s degree and tried every strategy literally in the book. I even made up strategies not in the book. At the end of the day, I had to realize that it had nothing to do with what I was doing...

What about setting fire to their bag and telling them gfy? Just a thought.
