So, I had an email from a visitor today that I am sharing below. I omitted her name, names of teachers etc. As I'm sure she was not intending her email to go on a public forum...
My first thought is that a rating system would be too vulnerable to a host of things that would perhaps skew a teacher's rating. On the other hand there are practical aspects...
How helpful would you find it to have some sort of rating system in our teachers directory?
I think it would be useful if there was a way to comment and rank the instructors on this site. I have had a difficult time finding local instructors until I found this site; however finding good reference for these people even if just a simple as a youtube video is quite a task! For example I tried to work with teacher XYZ however she was forgetful rude and a terrible dancer come to find out. We had an hour long conversation and weeks later she found my number on her phone and called me and had no idea who I was or what we had talked about or even that I had signed up for classes. This happened 2-3
times. I showed up to class and NOONE was there! She said it would be a small class but without an instructor it is not a class. Worse off I was required to prepay and it was non refundable. Thank goodness after I waited for hours for her to show up they finanly said oh we cant contact her and refunded my money. A huge waste of time. On the other hand teacher ABC was wonderful to work with. She was kind and creates many opportunities for her students. Anyway I just think a comments and rateing system would help us who are new to our area to make a better informed decision.
