This may sound stupid, but it bugs me, so here goes. I teach a language (not English and I'm not in the US) to adult learners. I don't usually teach these students. Now, one of them came late. I asked him calmly but firmly why he was late (we usually do). He explained and all seemed okay. Later we were doing a writing exercise where they heard people talking on tape. I said they would hear it two times. This student didn't hear one sentence, and asked me to repeat. I said again calmly but firmly that they would hear it two times. Then he left, without telling why. Later I heard from his other teacher that he was angry because I was being rude. I decided to apologise and he said he won't accept it. The problem is I will be teaching the same class next week.

So, did I do something wrong? I admit I was tired but wasn't rude on purpouse. Have any of you others eho teach adults ran into this problem?
