WEOFFER ANODISTRACTION ENVIRONMENTOver the years, we have found themost productive way to run classes is without the distraction of parents andsiblings in the room.We only have a short time eachweek, so everyminute is important. Occasionally I will allowspectators in the last fiveminutes of class so you can see the progress we aremaking.
