Re: slight dilemma w/my new teacher

I was really enjoying reading this thread, thinking to myself how I too have been fortunate to have teachers who were willing, on occasion, to give more of their time than scheduled; and when I'd remind them of the time and they'd say, "no, it's OK, let's keep going". I think it would be an insult to get up and leave when the offer is made to stay.

When this has happened I've sent "thank you" emails when I got home, or insisted on overpaying them next time around (it's hard for a teacher to say "no" if you write them a check for more than the amount agreed upon. "Oh, sorry, that's my last check"... [grin]

).

Hans, you contradict yourself... if, as you say, it's the teacher's responsibility to keep note of the time, why should the student have to apologize? What should the student say? "I'm sorry that you don't know how to use a watch?"
