- Rationale: a description of the teacher's reason for NOT taking the new lesson (e.g., "The student prefers to practice a few days before scheduling a new lesson," "The student will be on vacation for a few weeks and will schedule the new lesson when he/she returns," "The student will contact me next week to arrange the next meeting," etc. etc.)
