Well I think in a way being treated as not doing my part just for
proposing that a basic course could be helpful is not motivating.
that depends how you read the message (or how I put it). main point is,
you have the power to make the meetings go to meet your needs. just tell
everyone what these are, and it can happen.
I wrote that paragraph because you said that you the meetings weren't
appealing to you, not because you made a suggestion (which is a good
thing).
honestly I started looking for information on line and then I went to
the meetings because I feel a bit confusing starting in that way
that is normal, many people stop at that point and turn to something else
that is already preformated. part of the journey you need to do alone, an
other part you need some external help, that's how it is.
Don´t carry all the weight by yourself there must be somebody able to
teach beginners in a regular way (thats also means money for the rent,
of course).
there should be, but then it's up to you (and others) to ask the question.
if I (we) wanted to convince people to use Pd, something more structured
would have been put up. since it's not the case, I (we) am here to help
with the way.
I'm myself not against teaching pd regularly, as well. just not on the
scope of these meetings.
