[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First of all, teachers are free people.  They are allowed to do what they like with their own free time.  The school system does not own them.  Obviously, they can't tutor during school hours, or tutor their own students, but tother than that there are no restrictions.

Secondly, the teacher's union is just like any other large group, it has people with a variety of opinions.  Not every teacher took the same position on hybrid vs virtual.

Finally, the difference between being in a room with one masked child, without shared bathrooms or hallways, and the ability to leave if the child takes off their mask is entirely unlike being in the classroom.  [/quote]

[b]It's called a "conflict of interest" and most companies don't allow it.[/b] It has nothing to do with being "free people".

[b]Secondly, if allowed by the union, it should be limited to non DCPS students.[/b] I don't recall hearing (from news media or social media) from the teachers who wanted hybrid and wish they had been more vocal.

Note, pods by definition are not one student but rather groups of students. Granted tutoring one child is a different situation unless you tutor multiple students.[/quote]

Point A:  "Conflict of interest" is contractual.  There is no such proviso in the teachers' contract as what you describe.

Point B:  It is not.  It is limited to after school hours and not their own students.  Understanding that this is how you would like it to be, it is not, in fact, the case. [/quote]
