英文筆記距離上一篇無尾熊有幾根拇指呢?竟然是快五個月前了...

還是持續學習中，只是除了懶外，這陣子團體的學習品質太差導致上課時無法專心，有有時還直接把聲音關掉，所以根本沒聽到老師在講什麼。

抱怨一下

這幾個月機構突然換了個新老師，同樣是阿嬤級的老師，比起上一位這位顯得不太有耐心，有些內容也上得很敷衍，不過只要有持續上課，多少還是有在學習，我是這樣想的所以也沒放在心上。

但兩個月前開始，老師在中心上課，同時間同個空間竟然高達五位老師在上課，那背景吵雜程度，我實在無法忍受，當場表達我無法聽到老師聲音的問題。老師當下也無法解決，下課後我立刻寫信給中心，中心的回覆是他們會注意時間安排。

等到下一次上課時，老師當眾詢問我寫信給中心的事，說是如果還是很吵直接跟她說就好!什麼鬼? 上次說沒用呀!! 這次似乎在其他同學面前跟我下馬威的感覺。

結果持續兩個月了，雖然背景吵雜程度從五位降至三位，但還是不行呀!!

不解的是其他同學都不覺得吵嗎?有時吵到都聽不見老師的聲音，為什麼都是我在抱怨?

這周我找到答案了，這團體課每次大約有八位學生，但最近陸續這些人都不見了，只剩兩位。

聰明的他們見我抗議無果，直接不上線或是換時段了，不像我不希望因此連動而另一位老師也換了，而在掙扎中。
