It is Sunday and I decided to have classes online. Whoah! I had my first class and the student was so late and the level is zero. I got irritated because the student’s connection is not good and decided to ask mother’s student to call the customer service. The mother started to shout at me. I don’t want the stress and mute my audio. I need to tag the student absent because of not waking up early with poor internet connection and it is also a good thing that she cannot able to evaluate me. Still, I followed the protocol.

Nah, they should be well ready for you when you teach. You did right.
How frustrating this must be.

@Linda1234 I agree. Sometimes it doesn't happen, my friend. But then, I emphasized that during the class.

For online classes,both the students and the teacher are supposed to have good internet connection and be on time.
She was not expecting this class today?But shouting at the teacher is not a good practice.

No , you are not. The student is irresponsible. And how can , they shout? I really can't bear such nonsense

That does not make you a bad teacher. You were on time and the student wasn't. If the connection was not good why did the student want the mother to call customer service? Why did the mother think she had the right to yell at you? It is hard to know how it will go with teaching online and in person.

What a day to deal with. Instead of looking for the root cause of the problem, the mother shouted at you instead. Good thing we have those audio mute to silence the unnecessary noise. Have a great Sunday ahead!

You are not a bad teacher, you did what you should do.

No you were not, it is the student who was irresponsible and I don't understand why that mother was shouting at you instead of shouting on her child for not having proper internet connection. Even she was being irresponsible.
