[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah. Seems at first there was an interesting conversation about how it's unethical for teachers to make money off private pods and how that also puts their public school class at a serious disadvantage. Then a bunch of trolls started screaming and threw around the K-word just to muddy the discussion.[/quote]

It’s also unethical to group a few with the many. Some teachers may be doing pods but it’s not even close to being the majority yet you all think it’s ‘interesting’ to spread false accusations just because of your own personal beliefs.

There’s been many, many comments asking people like you to back up your argument. Why was it ok for teachers tutor before? This is something DCPS knows about and some schools even pay teachers to do it at their school.

Also is it ok for teachers to have a 2nd teaching job that’s not a pod? I taught classes to kids online before Covid for yes, money.

I also know teachers who work at bars, hotels, have different teaching jobs, etc.

You all have not made a valid statement regarding ethics, except ‘teachers are scum’ last time I check ad hominem arguments are not valid.

If the children in their regular classes have the same quality as they would if their teacher was not taking outside jobs what is the issue?

The argument that it’s not fair, is not one of ethics but of personal feeling. There are children going to school in person right now, children with multiple private tutors, children whose parents make 7-8 figures. Is that unethical or just capitalism?

I must admit as a teacher I’m really appalled at these attitudes of parents and sad that teachers feel they have to stoop down to the level of some of the more callous posts.

The funny thing is not one of you would say this to a teacher’s face, especially not your child’s teacher. Even high school aged children have more class. Teachers and parents we can do better than name calling and passive aggressive quips.[/quote]
