What Happened To My Tutor?

every friday, i have a tutorial class of Torism 8:40 am-9:25 am. the tutor of this class is south african woman who is black and bald(笑). there is a problem. she is a kind of rude because she OFTEN cancels the class WITHOUT informing her students.

two weeks ago, there were public holidays on Thursday and Monday. this means if there was no lecture on Friday, we could have 5 holidays in a row. however, we were extremely good students, so we attended her tutorial class and waited for her in classroom. but she did not come because she parhaps wanted 5-day holidays. the students got mad because her behavior, skipping the class, was so rude and selfish, and started to gather the signatures on a paper to claim her. finally, they turn it into another tourism lecturer. she completely lost her belief from her students.

today is friday, so we had her tutorial class and she came today. but she started to lecture as if she had done nothing bad two weeks ago. she even didn't apologize to us, but nobody claim. she told us to read handout for 15 minutes, so we were reading. suddenly one of students tried to leave the classroom, so the tutor asked her, "why do you leave? when you leave, you have to say something." the student answer,"i am not interested in this class." and the tutour said,"thank you." wow! how serious that circustance was! can you imagine? at last, the student left the classroom.

she continued the tutorial class. and 15 minutes later, she told us to answer her question about the handout, but nobody answered because i think the topic was a little difficult. there was only silence in the classroom. all of the sudden, she started to cry and said, "i have to cancel this class today." i was so surprised because i didnt think she was the last person who cried in front of people. she insisted on how sad nobody was interested in her class and left the classroom.


this experience was wired for me. and i am a little afraid of next friday.
