[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m finding it pretty shocking that currently employed DCPS teachers are charging high rates to provide in-person tutoring after school hours, while their union has fought the notion that they return to work. Loads of them working with various tutoring agencies. Something about this rubs me the wrong way - like [b]public resources becoming unofficially but effectively privatized[/b].[/quote]

Teachers are people not property owned by the city or DCPS or parents. Their time during their work day *might* be a public good or provide a public benefit but they are in charge of themselves and how they spend their time after hours.

Since you can't really believe that teachers are slaves, I assume that your issue is that some teachers are willing to work in person privately but not for regular school. That my be a valid issue but it seems that tutoring a kid or two is a lot different than being exposed to many kids for 6.5+ hours a day plus interacting with dozens of other adults. [/quote]
