[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the “smug” pod parent back to answer questions.

The teacher is teaching half her normal workweek. She is getting paid to teach 20 hours and plan for 5. Most teachers spend more than 40 hours a week at school so the payment seems fair and she agreed to it. She was also already looking to take a year or so off due to Covid. This is just something for her on the side.

We have a legal contract drawn up for all parties. We are doing it on a semester basis. All children have withdrawn from school. If one family chooses to pull their child out prior to Jan 1, they are liable for paying their share.

If the teacher is sick she can take the day(s) off. There won’t be a substitute. If she requires more than 2 weeks off we can reevaluate per the contract.

All students will meet at the same house for the same hours 4 days a week to create structure. Location will also be reevaluated at the end of the semester.

I view this as a small business transaction. [/quote]

OP this sounds more than reasonable.

Average FCPS teacher with 5 years experience makes $58k and likely works 50 hours a week. That’s about $1100/week. Your role has lower standards and fewer hours. Seems about right. I would think it would be slightly higher, maybe $1200/week which means you all would only pony up $50/week each. [/quote]
