[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know an ES in Fairfax County where a couple of teachers were tutoring in their classrooms right after dismissal. Not to mention other unethical practices in the same school.[/quote]

Asking seriously, not snarkily, PP: Are you certain for a fact that these teachers were tutoring as a [i]paid, outside[/i] gig at those times, in their classrooms? Many, many teachers schedule time after the school day to meet with their own or other teachers' students who need help. That is not paid tutoring on the side; it's a teacher doing the teaching job. Most teachers' school days, by the way, don't end the second the final bell rings-- many are still on the public school clock after that last bell, for a period of time, and if you walked around and spotted teachers in classrooms after dismissal working one on one with students, those teachers could still have been simply...teaching.
'
NOW, with that said: If you have actual evidence these were paid private tutoring, and it was happening during the teacher's contracted hours with the school, yes, that's a problem.

Did you report this, or the other unethical practices you said were taking place?

I want to note that there's nothing to prevent a teacher tutoring on her or his own time for pay. Doing it IN school buildings would be a problem that should be nipped, but the actual act of paid tutoring if it's the teacher's own time--that's not an issue. It just isn't. They've done it forever.

Yes.

Neighbor to me: “I’m so overwhelmed with DL! Mrs. Jones (current/active teacher at our ES) is going to help Larla with schoolwork M/W/F from 1-2pm.”

Mrs. Jones was a prior teacher of Larla’s but not her current teacher.[/quote]
