As the usual thing to do, I conducted my teaching online with the student. However, the connection was not stable. In fact, it wasn’t me who has the problem. Since I had checked all my connections and devices before having classes, it is standard practice and rules of the company. I tried to explain the situation to the students. I thought the student will understand the problem. I was caught off guard and she shouted at me in intense tone. For such reason, I just let her do what she wants. I ignore the fact that she was being rude. Perhaps she was in denial that her internet connection is not stable and thinking she had paid the class session. As a professional being, I managed to drop the call and asked her to call the customer service.” What should I do since it is a technical reason?”

@Shavkat Sadly it all goes back to their parent's upbringing.

@Letranknight2015 You said it right my friend. It was really so frustrating sometimes. Actually, I cannot cancel the classes with the student. It is generated by company's system.

@Letranknight2015 Most of the students from China. Actually, the students are the one booking the open schedules of the teachers. However, the teachers don't have the power to cancel the classes.

@alchemistrx Yes, I am using wired connection. The fault connection is really from the student's side. They were using wireless devices.

@JOIEMARVIC I agree. So we need to avail ISP services with good quality. I think it is also depends on how great the internet speed. For online jobs, we need to have wired connection than wifi.
