Teacher keeps canceling class!
33 female
So I am going to school for my ged and for the most part I really like school. It's just I have one little problem. My teacher keeps emailing me and canceling class sometimes at the last minute. Last he emailed me when I was already at the school and I don't have my own transportation so my mom and step dad takes me and picks me up. My mom had an appointment that day 30 minutes from my town so I went to the library and did my work there out of my school book for 2 hours while my mom was at the doctor. I don't want to quit I really like school ,but he has emailed me 5 times either the before or 15 minutes before class. I don't know what else to do.

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
He works under someone, he has a boss who should know this, as this is very unacceptable. For all you know, he could be reaping a paycheck for doing nothing. So there must be someone,if held in an actual school building, some administrative personnel you can speak to about this. If held at a community college, using one of their rooms, again office personnel should know who he reports to and who his employer is, the one who okays his paycheck. So even if its held at the community recreation center, or a spare room at the library, there are people you can ask who will know something and can give you a lead as to whom to complain to. In regular school, there are substitutes who step in when a teacher is sick or needs a personal day. For some reason, he is not doing this, reporting to his employer to get class covered, even if it's only one day missing. But 5 and with day before notice or 15 min before class. If sick, many people don't know this 24 hrs in advance to call in sick or cancel a class for the next day. Most people who skip work due to illness only realize they are sick on the morning of. So if he had to cancel last minute once or twice okay its understandable not having much notice time to give a student but there seems to be a pattern. Either he is very ill and can't hold the position of teacher but hasn't told his employer fearing lack of money, or he is simply unreliable, having fun cus its summer and he'd rather be at the park or beach, or he is on street drugs often or drinks too much, cancelling class when he is too hung over to show up. Somehow two and two don't add up here. So pursue checking up on him and reporting. Don't let it slide because you or someone is paying money for this class to exist and you to be able to attend. Just think of this happening to every future class of students because no one was brave enough to look into it. If you get no where, perhaps your parents can find out whom to contact. You could start with whoever you had to pay to get registered for this class. I once took a foreign language class with my Mom at a community college in the evening. The phone number we had to call to sign up, would be the same number to call to find out who to talk to and get their phone number and tell them everything you told us here.
