A teenaged student came home crying last night. Her parents asked why and she said it was because she wasn't tutored properly. Her parents called my boss at Center S. and were upset. In turn, my boss called me and the conversation got a bit heated over the phone. I believe I tutored the student just fine. The student's family got a refund, but I do not see the necessity of the Director calling me. Especially late at night. In her defense, she was yelled at by the parents and took it out on me. She's only human. She never said a single horrible thing to me. I hope both the Director and the student are feeling better now.
But because of that call, I haven't been able to get much sleep since last night. But it is my fault for taking the call. I should make it a point not to do that anymore. Lesson learned.
This experience has made me reconsider my occupation as a tutor. I still want to keep my position(s) on a part-time basis but I do not believe I can continue to do them on a full-time basis. I like the kids but I seriously dislike the parents. I hate the parents of kids at Center F. and I also don't like some of them at Center S. And the tragic part is that I get along better with people one-third to one-half my age than I do with my own age.
The positive thing out of this is that I have a reason to leave tutoring. I hope to accelerate my progress soon enough. I am no longer a high school subjects tutor; it is only my occupation.
