There's nothing wrong with your having asked. There may be something wrong
with your needing to have asked at all. There needs to be some system in
place both for making these decisions and for notifying everyone involved of
what decisions have been made. If there already is one, it will only work if
everyone follows it through. This kind of misunderstanding can lead to real
animosities, both between players and between students and their teachers,
if they happen with any frequency.
