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.

    You are welcome from here, and as intensiveworld remarked, we feel it is something that has to be said.

    We've had a decent one, so finish up on this note. 

    Our situation was in an academy also and degrading, our child was accused of a dangerous act, a secret non consent interogation was done. His excusion was decided just like that - no parent around or informed of circumstance correctly.

    It was a nightmare - they claimed there was a girl witness who had been 'terrified' by it, and our boy was out except for part time provision is an isolated unit.

    Over the next few weeks i made various inquiries with the school looking for the truth all which were stone walled.

    I swooped in there unexpectedly one day and rushed the deputy principle who made an error. He blurted out a name for this terrified girl witness and i had him confirm it to make sure.

    I imagined looking for the parent to try verify this claim at the gates, but when i told my wife the info we were astonished, as wife knew girls mother being they worked together

    The next day she asked this mum - and her daughter was not there at all. We went to the school and told them what a fraud it was. 

    School response few days later ? - 'switch the witness', it was now a different girl who they definately refused to name this time!.

    Well naturally - and they had little hesitation with this 'solution'. The recurring characteristic has seemed to be a disgraceful lack of respect for truth in these bad school cases.

    Some people in schools are in love with themselves so much, that our children are the last thing they are concerned about - they did all this just to save face for the bad judgement and illegal procedures they had performed

    We have had a jolly good say on this one - thanks for listening Petlover et al, and best of luck.
