Today, the boy I tutor failed his math test. As a result, the family fired me. The boy failed because he forgot to write his name at the top. FML

That's ridiculous. Just tell his parents what happened.

That is pretty ridiculous, I hope that income wasn't too important.

Looks like you forgot to cover basic test taking instructions, strategies and techniques. Just as important as covering the material

You can't teach a new dog old tricks. Or in this case a helpless student.

Dammit me too. I always fail that question. Hardest on the test!

I don't understand how you were aware of the reason, but not his parents.

Who the crap fails a student on a test just because they forgot one little thing?

You'd be surprised. In my old school people actually got marks on their papers for writing their names. Ridiculous, I know.

I've failed several for that reason. :p

At least you know you did such a good job at teaching him math that you left him forgetting his name...i

Well I guess that's why they hired you, you're smarter than they are. If you knew why he failed then they definitely should have caught on at some point.

If the student you tutor is old enough to have a job, and does, sue for loss of income. Because of the students neglect, you lost at least part of your income.
