Ah, but for an auditory learner, a diagram won't help much. For a visual learner a diagram will help greatly. And for those that are a combination of both, they need the verbal and the visual cues to learn.
Kinesthetic learners are a whole other story :-) A teacher who is interested in helping their student to the best of their ability will try a different approach if they find one method is failing. Obviously in a school situation, this doesn't happen all the time, but in lace classes, where there might be 10 pupils, a teacher should be able to get some clues, however subtle, along the way if a student is struggling with grasping a concept or technique. And Devon is correct in saying that people want different things out of lace and out of classes/workshops. Some lacemakers want to create their own lace, others will take a pattern and interpret it, with some of their own flair worked into the piece and others still want to replicate exactly the piece as it is shown, with none of their own interpretation incorporated. What you want out of lace will have some bearing on what you bring with you to your learning and work.
