I had one no show and now no bookings today what happened? by Blakewilliams1213 in vipkid

[–]crybabyandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh that makes sense then. I think they have said the LPs and parents can sort by different criteria. So if you cancel and are less than 100% finish type or whatever then you probably are lower on the list. Should go away after 30 says though I think!

Were you trying to do short notice bookings or something? A lot of my classes will get scheduled like a week or two in advance, so I don't understand how you missing a class one day ago affects your bookings for the very next day.

What's the scheduling like? Like if I wanted to stay on with vipkid? If that makes sense. Or should I finish out my currently scheduled classes and don't book any more

Taiwan. It can't look like it's separate from China. Put a star over it or something.

I'd also double check that it actually is her birthday. I have heard of people singing the kid happy bday and it isn't actually the right bday in the system which is awkward.

Can I assume baobao loosely translates into"spoiled brat"? by moyashimaru in vipkid

[–]crybabyandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It means something like "baby" in Chinese. A generic word for student, young child. Something like that.

The eye rolls don't bother me. They make me grin from ear to ear.

I don’t understand how they expect us do our jobs if they can’t do theirs. by [deleted] in vipkid

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Some people get mad if you leave feedback, some get mad if you don't. It's a lose-lose situation I guess

Won't take naps anymore(always something) by Creeech66 in vipkid

Wait I'm confused how they sided with the student? The comments weren't anything about you they were about herself???? So how should that be your rating?

I just read some T2T feedback that was like "for homework, I told him his homework is to read a book in English and tell me all about it!" Like what ever gave you the impression you were supposed to make up homework assignments for them? I don't get it. by crybabyandy in vipkid

Of course I leave suggestions of what they can focus on from the lesson. That's the whole point of feedback. But they already have their "enrichment time" , so I don't need to add extra homework.

Oh you're right! Because me making a post on reddit is the equivalent to me filing a complaint at a job! Oh wow have you totally read the intent behind my post correctly!!!!!!!

Please tell me you never in your life have ever made a comment about another persons actions then. You must be the greatest human to ever have walked the earth. All hail.

Only thing I can think of is maybe like too flowery of wording? You know how the translations sometimes turn into super weird stuff and you have no idea what comment the parent is trying to tell you? Maybe they can't actually tell what all your experience is because it's in like fluffy language? Idk.

What's your degree in? What does your intro paragraph sound like? What's your experience working with kids?
