I want to help my parent be comfortable and secure in her home. At the same time, I'm taking a special interest course with some "homework" which is competing with my parents needs.
I don't know what to say to the strong-willed instructor, when she polls the class, one-by-one, asking us what we did. Sometimes we do this in small groups, so I can "pass" and not feel judged.
I don't know if I'll be able to say "I just didn't do the homework". I went from overwhelming myself, thinking that I could wash and paint a kitchen(not possible) to changing a faceplate on a plug to appease the instructor. Does the instructor have vested interests anyway, since she's looking for sales leads as a realtor, in a lucrative market in an urban city-I don't know?
In another class, the instructor stated that "accountability" is important, and I felt pressured.
But I'm not accountable to the instructor, but my personal values. I don't wish to skip the class either, since that would be "flight" and I would lose the content, which will be useful later.
Maybe I could send her an email, explain my dilemma, and she'll go from there...
