[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve tutored after school before COVID-19. At my school because we have a program. But for a mere $40 and I can only get about 3 hours a week.

I’ve had several parents from my school approach me about teaching their pod and I accepted one. 
I have a PhD for god sakes and I’m a good teacher, DCPS is a joke with their ‘admin premium.’

I want overtime like other jobs. I have kids too and DC isn’t cheap. It really has nothing to do with COVID-19, and the price is around the same as what I got for tutoring outside of my school.

Perhaps this will show parents that teachers didn’t decide DL, I promise we aren’t stupid enough to ‘make’ that happen then teach in pods. We understand the idea of public image.

Also why are people surprised? The is the US, a capitalist nation.[/quote]

So you are teaching a pod outside of school hours?  If you teach and have kids, how is the pod gig not going to impinge on the time you give your DCPS students?

You are fine with flouting the DCPS rules?  Do you consider yourself ethical?[/quote]

My pod starts at 3:30 the school day during DL for me ends at 3.

My parents are looking for purely academic professionals and I believe have hired a nanny part time until 3:30

Also if I wanted I could teach a pod for at least an hour during my lunch since that’s not part of my tour of duty.

As for my students I’m not worried, I’m young and intelligent. All of my kids get to grade level by EOY and I’ve never had a parent complain, even during DL.

I was the teacher who provided some in person lessons for students in March who were teetering green to make sure they were learning. All the things DCPS is trying to implement I was already doing in my classroom in March and more.

But nice try, I don’t feel this is unethical whatsoever. My school also already knows. [/quote]
