Easter holidays day 2. I teach a practical subject. Practical exams are two weeks after we go back. I asked my GCSE class (1 class but 4 groups within that) if any of them wanted to come in during the holidays to go though their exam piece. They all said yes. They all arranged separate times and days to come in so that I could spend time exclusively with their group. I then paid for my DTDs to go to holiday club for the days requested by the students. Guess what, of today's 5, only one bloody well turned up. OK for him - we were able to go through his stuff, but since it's a group thing, there was only so much we could do. I called the others - got through to 2 mums, who were both mortified (I told them that it was their DC who had requested it and that I had paid for my own kids to go to holiday club) Apparently one had decided to go to do the induction for his new job (they'd told him he could do any day this week and he'd said he'd do today because he "could go to school any time" ) The others had just decided not to come in - but not one of the buggers had let me (or the other boy in their group) know.
AIBU to be really really pissed off with this??
