Just skim-read this thread, so apologies if I repeat things others have said - but it definitely sounds like you need to find a new school.
WCollins mentioned that flying in bad weather as a student can be beneficial in that it shows why you shouldn't do it. I agree - one of the most useful lessons I had as a student was when my instructor let me make a go/no-go decision in marginal weather, and I decided to go. I ended up logging a bit of unplanned real instrument time, and that instrument time was in the vicinity of CBs. Extremely unpleasant. Fortunately, I had an instructor with me who was able to get me out of the mess that I'd got myself into (and I'm sure she wouldn't have let me go if she wasn't capable of getting me home safely). I certainly would not want to have done that as a solo student, and I wouldn't have had any respect for an instructor who let me do it.
I also agree with Whirly about the lack of communication. The bad weather story is an example of a bad instructor. The poor communications is an example of a bad school. I had several instructors throughout my training (often when one went on holiday, or was off sick, as well as more permanent changes) and when this happened the new instructor would simply look at my record to see what I'd done. Even if my record wasn't completely up to date, it was only a case of one or two lessons that the new instructor would need to ask me about. Taking this to extremes, a couple of years ago I did a 10-hour aerobatics course, and I don't think I had the same instructor for any two consecutive lessons during this course. This wasn't a problem at all - the school was excellent in its record-keeping, and every time I turned up to a lesson, the instructor knew exactly what I'd done in all my previous lessons, and what I was supposed to be doing next. This is the way it should be - don't accept anything less.
