I’m worried about dd who is in her final year of A levels, she often tells me that teachers don’t turn up for lessons, sometimes they leave work for them to do but last week dd turned uk for a lesson there was no teacher and no work set, dd stayed in the classroom (ICT) whilst the others went to the library to do homework from other lessons.
Until covid hit dd was on track to secure a place at a top uni, now she’s struggling to hit her grades (in one of her subjects) and is considering taking a year out, she’s lost confidence and doesn’t even want to apply for uni’s. Dd has Aspergers and possible ADHD so staying focussed isn’t easy for her, she needs face to face teaching, or at least in the one subject she’s struggling with. I’m proud of how well she’s doing considering but I wonder how well she would be doing if she got more face to face learning?
Is this the norm for A levels? Teachers not turning up and not much face to face learning? There’s other times when the teacher will appear for a short time, set some work and then disappear.
