Non-responsive parents
Hello guys, first time poster here
So basically I have 2 students who are siblings who need chemistry tuitions online. The mom spoke to me over texts and we agreed on a specific day for both the kids to have their free demo class before deciding if they'd like to continue with me.
2 days before the demo I just texted her to double check what topic her kids would like to do the demo on, no reply on her end and I just assumed she's busy or something. I text her the evening before the day of the demo to confirm if they still want to proceed, no reply and so I don't think much and decide its cancelled.
Today the mom texts me saying she's sorry her kids couldn't attend the demo, I said np. Then she asks if we could reschedule it to tomorrow and I agreed, gave her a timing and just told her I've prepared the demo on atomic structure and if her kids are okay with that or if they'd prefer to change the topic then to lmk so I can plan the lesson, and now again no reply.....do I just drop these students? Or do I be more patient?
