Funny but inappropriate

I had a new-to-me student who was rather distracted by his phone. Though he was a bit older, I decided to pull out Wrinkles, my Shar-pei puppy puppet to "teach" and get his attention. Most students like Wrinkles and smile more when he comes out, but this 10yo shouted "What the fuuuuuu**"!!!

I ignored it thinking i heard wrong, but then it happened a couple more times. (When I needed to pull his attention from the phone and brought out the puppet).

The third time, I told him its better to say "What the PUP" in class lol

Tips for an all-nighter?

After almost 3 months, I'm about 75% booked for slots I open. I really enjoy these classes, so I'd like to see them closer to 90%. Are all-nighters really worth it? Have you gotten new students from doing them? What if you're usually asleep by midnight? (How do you increase your wakefukness for these sessions​?)

Bookings?

This is my third full month, with steadily increasing bookings, which is great. But today....nada. 1 or 2 cancellations this a. m., and NO bookings. Was it the 502 error this a.m., perhaps?

I don't understand why I'd go from 75% of slots booked to 0 so far for July. Trying not to panic.

With summer coming up do you all recommend switching to weekend (aka "all-nighter" here in the EST zone) classes? I've heard weekday bookings go down when school is out for summer. So, I'm trying to be proactive (though I'm not a much of a night owl)!
