incredibly rude

Hotel california

Does anyone else have this experience, and how did you deal with it.

I tend to use email as my chosen means of communication between myself and school.  Most of the  time it works okay, and I will get a response.  However, there are times when tutors don't respond, despite repeated requests for feedback.

I am finding this perplexing, as some of these emails were initiated by the tutor.  

I am not rude in emails, so I'm finding this deafening silence incredibly rude.

If you have experienced this, how have you dealt with it?

 I did send an email recently saying I was still waiting for a response to an email sent 2 weeks earlier, and the tutor took offense saying that she had matter in hand and would get back to me.  Question is how was I to know that?

I am getting frustrated with this behaviour, it is incredibly rude, but not sure how to tackle it.

The tutors all stick together, so reporting up the chain of command tends to make matters worse.

  • I have had exactly the same experience with the Academy that my daughter attends. My daughter has attempted to self harm, yet again, because of the unaddressed bullying she gets. Before her latest attempt to self harm I handed in a letter of complaint to the Principal regarding the bullying. My letter to them was dated 18th March and I still haven't received a reply from them. Agencies have told me that they should have replied under Section 75 of the Education Act. I can empathise with all the above parents with regards to un answered emails. The Academy where my daughter attends have taken exception to my sending emails to the VMG mentor in particular, when I have been concerned over the bullying my daughter has received that day, by two girls in particular. I have responded to that by saying that I have had to send emails because the VMG mentor herself has frightened my daughter by telling her 'don't be telling your Mum about every little thing that happens!' I have discussed this at previous meetings with CAMHS and they have stressed to my daughter, in my presence, that the VMG's comments to her are extremely in appropriate and also said to her that 'they are not little things to you, are they!' The VMG mentor is disputing why my daughter is frightened of her. She cannot comprehend the fact that it is because my daughter is fearful of the VMG mentor 'finding out' that my daughter has 'confided' in me when incidents of bullying occur, which is sometimes on a daily basis.  I, like many of other parents are feeling so frustrated, extremely let down, and have feelings of anger; and I'm sure many other emotions too because of the way we feel our school's are giving little or no support to our children that they so rightly deserve!
