Hi, Lorina

I answered similar way as what you said but still can't deem satisfactory from the assessor, I'm getting confused what should I do. Reality is even more simpler than theory. Can you help me, Lorina?

here's what my assessor said:
As you have used the last paper towel, you are expected to rectify this- how could you ensure you are meeting ratio and also addressing the problem- please note: the supervisor or other educators have their own responsibilities in the centre. You must return to the room immediately – you cannot assume it will just take a couple of minutes- a lot can happen in those few minutes.
Do you need to inform anyone in the centre? Who? And how?

thanks,
