@mimtschan augh that's such bs hon, I'm sorry.

good teachers should know better. my teaching role model told a story about a student he had who would knit during class.

whenever he got to something interesting, the knitting would slow and she would look up and listen. then he would get back to boring stuff and she would focus on her knitting again.

he said he really appreciated it, like she was an orchestra conductor. I hope you find a teacher that good someday.
