Okay I am so P#*@@ right now. I have been tutoring a neighbour girl for the past two weeks. The reason I am tutoring her is because this 13 year old girl in grade 8 has skipped school for 37 days this year and now is way behind in her work. This works out to over 7 weeks of school she has missed.
I have asked this girl to get together with me at 6:30 in the evening. So far this has not happened. It has always been 8PM or later that her dad has called and asked me to come over. We spend 2 to 3 hours a night on her work. I asked on Friday if there was any work to do on the weekend, and both she and her father said no. Last night (Sun) at 7pm I got a call to come over. Not much homework I was told. Well!!! This girl had a math project to do, a book report to do (She hasn't read the book yet) and 3 letters to write for English!!! All were due today(MON)
I told her no way would she get it done, and I spent an hour with her on the letters. When I left I specifically said to her and her father to call me by 6:30 pm. the next day, so that we could get together if she needed me. I also told her to read some of the book. No phone call at 6:30, or 7:00, or 7:30 but at 8:15 pm I got a call from dad that she needed help. I told him she was to have called at 6:30. He stated that he was not home at 6:30 but his daughter was. I refused to go over stating it was too late, I also have a life, and I also have to be up at 6 AM. to go to work. I honestly felt that this 13 year old could have called at the specified time. Said for them to call at 6:30 tomorrow night. Now I feel guilty. Am I being unreasonable here? I think that they are. What is your opinion. Sorry this post is so long, but I really needed to vent!!!!!
