[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. Teachers should not be worried. There was a teacher shortage before this began and so many parents in this area are willing to pay $100/hr or more for one on one tutoring. If cuts happen these teachers will probably be hired by the same parents complaining about distance learning and will make more money than they did with their salary. [/quote]

That was when there was generally a tight labor market.  Are you familiar with the unemployment rate?[/quote]

Not everyone will be able to do this but don’t be fooled about the amount of wealth here. The demand for private tutors is greater than ever and people are willing to pay. I’m a high school teacher and it’s common for students to have tutors in my school. Parents and tutors and still coordinating with me as they did before we closed, to assure me that tutoring sessions are continuing with zoom. I always encourage students to come see me for extra help but it’s the DC metro way to throw money at situations. In my own neighborhood, my children’s friends’ parents are currently lining up tutors for the summer. I do not tutor but am asked frequently if I would consider by friends or acquaintances since I’m a teacher. [/quote]
