DD has attended a class for about six months. It is for a hobby for which she competed at county level before we moved. The class has taught her nothing new and has not entered her for any competitions since we started. The level of the class is quite low and they seemed not to know what to do with someone of my daughter’s ability.
So, after a few discussions with the coaches and nothing changing, and looking around now we know the area a bit better, we moved classes to a club that is much more suitable.
Now the owner of the class has got in touch to tell me that they have spent a lot of time and money investigating competitions and events for my daughter to enter and that it is unfair we have left after their doing this work!
They didn’t tell me they were doing this! There was a mention of knowing someone who had trained county competitors (but only knowing them, they didn’t coach for the club or anything) and they did give my daughter a half hour extra practice time for free in the hall (where we were basically coaching her ourselves) but there was no plan for the future mentioned or anything.
We paid (a lot!) for a service they didn’t fully deliver but I think they expect us to feel guilty
