This is the part that really scares me. Similar to how some aftercare programs will operate in school buildings and charge for educating children in those buildings.

Our charter is allowing teachers to work after their completed 30 or 40 hours a week (depending on the employee) but they will have no way to know if teachers are really working 30 to 40 hours a week for the public school before accepting private dollars. I understand the decision, respect why teachers would want to do it, but really really worry about the incentive structure it will create.

I trust our teachers but why wouldn't they want to fit in less salaried teaching and more private hours teaching? Why would they ever want to go back to in person instruction if this virtual only world means they can make much more? It's not their fault but we need policies to make sure it doesn't happen, I think.[/quote]

I’m a teacher and I’ve always had a problem Witt this.  This is rampant in my Ward 3 school. Teachers babysitting on the weekends, tutoring in the school building etc.  it should not be allowed.  It also creates a weird vibe in the school.  Parents are able to call favorite teachers for babysitting services and in later grades those same teachers are teaching those kids.  It’s a huge problem.  I’m glad people are just now noticing this, but it’s been going on for years. [/quote]
