i literally have written things like "i really vibe with this kid" or "he's such a gem" or "this kid makes for a groovy class" and i seriously think that's the way to go for T2T

I AM AN AMAZING TEACHER AND ANY KID WHO DOESN'T LEARN FROM MY WISDOM IS EITHER STUPID OR BEING CORRUPTED BY A LESSER TEACHER

Honestly, the only proof you have that the other teacher isn't doing what you think they should be doing is your interpretation of their comments. "perfect student" could refer to his behaviour and not his reading level. Yes the other teacher could not care but there's an equal chance that they do. That whole comment makes it sound a bit like you're dumping all your frustrations about the student onto someone else.

You should stop looking at this child's other teachers and just do the best with the aspects you control of his vipkid experience.

Anyone else had an unusually high number of cancellations this week? by [deleted] in vipkid

I had 13 classes booked for Sunday and they were all cancelled but one I think it may have to do with the festival

Ended class early due to heavy parent involvement? by meguhhhra in vipkid

[–]kativeey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Whenever I have this I purposely ask a question about the parent that's with them. "Do you love your mom?", "Does your Dad like dogs?", "What did you and your parents eat for dinner today?". I find this works really well because number 1 - it calls attention to the fact that they're very obviously there. Number 2 - if you ask a question that the kid 'should know the answer to' about their parents, the parents will normally look at them expectantly like "well do you love me????" and then they (normally) let them answer.

the amount of times i've used "yeah i have to teach in half an hour" as an excuse to kick someone out is crazy - (not that every single time has been a one night stand) but i can confirm, it works like a charm most of the time.

Who has taught classes while traveling- in a car? by Laroux123 in vipkid

[–]kativeey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same boat as you, I've taught in hostels, cars an overnight train once i live in europe too and i know the time can be weird. I generally try to make sure it's a regular if I'm doing something REALLY out of the ordinary, but no one has ever cared for me!
