Re: [lace-chat] Definitely, maybe.
As an instructor in the USA Community College system, I can understand this bit. Most classes have a minimum number of students necessary to make the class bread even financially. I know for the jewelry classes I have taught this is usually 6-8 students. Therefore if only 2-4 sign up the class will still be canceled (unless I agree to teach for a lesser compensation). It sounds like they are promising to compensate those 2-4 that did register. Lorri 'Guaranteed Programme' for Autumn 2005. Because of intensive market research about the demand for classes they are able to make the following pledge:- Our brochure (and website) will feature courses starting in the Autumn making it possible to make a 'no cancellations' promise. If for any reason we are forced to cancel a class there will be automatic compensation for anyone already enrolled.

Re: [lace-chat] Definitely, maybe.
Most classes have a minimum number of students necessary to make the class break even financially That has always been the case here - last year I had to convince them that the students were going to sign up on the first day of term and if they didn't, they needn't pay me. I believe what they mean is that they won't cancel classes before the term starts, but it's not what it says. There is no statement anywhere in the half page article as to when they might be forced to cancel the class (although as you and I know, if it's cancelled it will be if there aren't enough learners). The compensation is highly unlikely to be compensation in the sense that most people would understand it, just a refund of their own money paid in advance. It's the conjunction of the two sentences that we found amusing. Did they actually read what they had written?
