After paying 250.00 and walking onto the motorcycle teaching yard, i was greeted by a male caucasian, moustache, 5'6" who stated, "you have the wrong helmet! It was a dept of transportation approved helmet. Not "hi... Could you wear one of our helmets?" i felt immediately put down, although, i did nothing wrong. I passed the 2nd test, but failed the final. I was told to switch to camarillo, which i hoped would be different, when in fact it was worse.
One of the instructors there named mark, went out of his way to make my life a living hell. Both my parents had died within 2 weeks of each other. You think he would be sympathetic. I had to return where i received more abuse. He never once gave me a kind word. Because the classes were constantly filled up, i had to pay another $250.00. I never even made it through the day, as mark stated that i wasn't following instructions. $250.00 just like that, down the tubes. I could barely hear him because of the helmet and distance from him. I can take criticism, but having been in charge of 150 people, i found you get much better results from people by being kind and treating them as an equal.
