[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. Twice this week parents who have their students in after care asked me to pull them from after care.

Umm, if you are paying someone else to watch your kid because it is beyond the school day, don't assume teachers are waiting around to spend MORE time with your kid. Also, to do so, I would have to put my own kid IN AFTER CARE.

Most parents on this board view teachers as paid personal help for them and their child. I get parents asking will I tutor 1 hour a day after school for their kid with a B. The answer is NO. If you want that, you need Kumon or Khan academy. If *your kid* comes to me during study hall and asks for help, I help gladly. *A parent* trying to get free personal tutoring after school that cuts into my family time and personal life - no. Never. I’m a professional; if I wanted to tutor, I could do it off campus after school for $75 an hour. I do not choose to. Why on earth would I stay and do it for free when the kid doesn’t even want it but the parent does? Kids who want and need help manage to find us and contact us during the day at school. Their schedule literally builds in time to do this. Parents who want free tutoring expect an hour of individual after school help. Big difference. [/quote]
