The new homebound student was a no-show

She has been out of school for a couple of weeks but the approval for the homebound tutoring just happened today. Apparently the guidance secretary took it upon herself to develop a schedule and put me for Monday from 3-4. This mother and student duo are known to be "difficult" so the secretary called the mother to make it clear that tutoring would start today. I logged in for 10 minutes and she never showed. Okay. That's an easy $45. As I always tell the secretaries--keep 'em coming!

That is the best part for you since you still get paid but certainly a loss for the student,

Guess thease kids think if they don't have to go to school they don't have to do the work.

What happens to the no-show? Does that count as an absence?

I get paid for the first no-show and it counts as an absence for her

That's the easiest way to have to deal with a 'difficult' student! Her loss.

So many students today don't seem to care about an education. It's sad. Have a good day.
