Have been stewing in anger for the past 4 hours, so pissed that i can feel the heat of anger emitting from my face.....
my kid was 1 hour late for tuition just now....again!!! Ever since we started tuition, he has hardly been punctual....the excuse that he gave just now was that 7pm was too rush for him...i don't see how it can be justified.....even when tuition was set at 8pm previously, he could take his time to come for tuition only at 9pm, dragging tuition time till 11pm...
It only shows that no matter what time we set the tuition, some how or another he will definitely be late. It is all a matter of discipline & effort. He should make the effort to come on time. Even if he couldn't make it on time, it is courtesy to inform the teacher beforehand that he would be late, so that i can get there at a later time, rather than myself discovering that he will be late upon reaching his place.... Is it then justified for the teacher to be penalized for the student's tardiness?? To the extent that i often have to waste 1 hr waiting - time that could be better utilized elsewhere? Where's the accountability?!
Out of respect and courtesy to the teacher, the student should always be arrive before the teacher, and not the other way round...Who's ever heard of the teachers in school waiting for their students to come for class??? Anyway, the teacher's time is always more precious than the student's.....
To make matters worse, he often does not bring the right books...what's the point of bringing your hw down to do when u will eventually have to do it aniwae even w/o tuition....Furthermore, the questions are so easy it is a joke to be doing them for tuition. That way, there's no tangible benefit to be reaped when you don't do assessment book questions that are tougher in nature.....
It is not that i don't wish to teach him anymore, but if he's willing to change his attitude such that tuition is effective for him....then things would be different...
