NOTE TO MY STUDENT'S MOTHER

NOTE TO MY STUDENT'S MOTHER

I cannot follow constant guidance regarding what to teach when anymore. This is demeaning for me and I have in my long career as a tutor for over four decades never done so in a single instance. I am not a classwork-tending, examination-tending teacher. I build lives. It must be understood. I have repeatedly said so in the past but seemingly to no effect. My students do very well this way. My life's experience says so. You must have faith in me and let me take charge hereon as I deem best. ICSE is less than three years away and I am under time pressure to build her well enough for life, although she is doing remarkably good work for some time now. She will do better. Do not read me wrong as your understanding is most essential. Bless you!
