This woman approached me in some distress. She was once a student at this skills training centre for women. She was so good at her knitting and handcrafts the management decided to make her a teacher in exactly these subjects.
She is now teaching her former classmates. They view her with some resentment, and refuse to follow her orders. They tease her for being illiterate, old and childless (They are 20 years younger than her, she's around 40, I didn't like to ask, but her students (and former classmates) are in their late teens and early 20s)
I suspect jealousy is a factor, but how can matters be resolved for this woman? From what I see, she's an excellent teacher, but the students are just impossible to her.
