Instrumental teacher refusing to teach my child

Your entitled attitude is quite breathtaking.

OP sounds like a woman in my kids class who put in a formal complaint and tried to claim compensation from the school after an item of school uniform was lost (the sort of item that my kid has lost x 10 since starting school). Claims poverty as a single mum but also goes on expensive holidays (e.g. to the US). Seriously embarrassed for these people.

You're not wrong... I bet the only reason the music teacher has agreed to next Tuesday's lesson is to make sure she gets her violin back.

It looks like you are going to have to find another teacher though doesn’t it.

Wow, just 🙄

Entitlement mentality.

'We’ve all met people who have a sense of entitlement. Maybe it’s that person who tried to cut in front of you at the coffee shop. Perhaps it was someone who demanded to be seated before you at a busy restaurant without a reservation.
Simply put, people with a sense of entitlement think the rules don’t apply to them.'

What Is a Sense of Entitlement?
You owe me. The entitlement mentality is defined as a sense of deservingness or being owed a favor when little or nothing has been done to deserve special treatment. It’s the “you owe me” attitude.

Op, further reading is this article may help you understand why everyone is calling out your rude behaviour.

You really are a rude and disrespectful person, I would not teach your son and I would give you back the money in cash and refuse to teach him.
I can't believe you know you are rude but still expect this person to teach your son. Your arrogance is astounding. You will make life hard for your son if you carry on like you are. You are obnoxious and sound a right pratt.

You are the person who has messed this up. A grovelling apology to the teacher who your child likes and with whom he is enjoying his lessons might bring results, but if teachers don't want to deal with rude parents and there is no reason why they should.

Something to think about BEFORE you’re rude to the tutor.

You were rude. She decided that she didn't need your custom. She ended the contract. You need to eat a massive serving of humble pie and apologise. I think you will struggle to do this from the sounds of it. It is a useful life lesson.

@MairSS Erm, if you had just moved on when she made an error, corrected it and apologised, you wouldn't be in this position.
More power to her.
Maybe next time you be such a stroppy mare over nothing.

Wow...I think you sound very entitled. No wonder she's sacked you off. She apologised so why go moaning further.

Your attitude is going to be the reason your child misses out on a lot more than violin lessons in the future I fear.

You’re THAT parent and by extension your child will become THAT child and people will steer clear. I feel sorry for both of you (but in very different ways).

Are you this unpleasant to everyone or just people that you pay for a 'service'?

She made ONE tiny mistake which she fixed

And she doesn't HAVE to teach anyone if she's freelance.

I wouldn't have anything to do with your family either

Have you actually paid for this upcoming term though? Before she emailed?

Good music teachers are like hens teeth and can pick their clientele. Z she's decided that life's too short to be dealing with the likes of you and is going to give your spot to someone else. You have zero change of getting her to change her mind.

I think this is the other violin thread

Your arrogance is breathtaking. Even now you don’t realise how lucky you were to have her as your child’s violin teacher and how badly you have treated her. As you haven’t backed down or listened to any of the comments here, I can only assume this is your typical approach to other people. A radical rethink is needed on your part: we’re not all out of step apart from you.

Good for her. Please, please complain to the head so that they know all about it. The staff room will be a happy place with everyone knowing you’ve been well and truly put in your place.
p.s nothing to do with head but they’ll be pumping their fist.

You do realise the more you don’t accept this is over and continue to behave like this the more and more likely that she won’t change her mind and continue to teach your child (not that I think she should.)

You want your son to keep on being taught by her, then you need to go to the school Tuesday and grovel like you’ve clearly never grovelled before and you may get lucky.

Also if you do not return the violin as requested then be aware she may take legal action against you… I’d be checking over those T&Cs she resent or you’ll end up looking even more of an idiot!

This is hilarious. You seem to think the service provider is just going to smile through and accept your rudeness. You've now learnt that she holds the power due to the fact she is a cheaper and more convenient option. It's even more funny that you aren't at all humbled by this and therefore no one feels sorry for you. You need to apologise and be a better person.

I strongly suspect OP is the type to argue that she’s keeping the violin in lieu of the refund that she is preventing being issued.

I wouldn't want to teach your child either

' I will send DS in on Tuesday with his violin for his lesson '

HER violin !!!

HER violin which SHE has lent
