A lot of professionals have professions that don’t allow for a “side hustle”, unlike teaching.
Teacher here. It’s hard to have aside hustle when I work 60 hours a week. The summers? They are spent doing curricula writing, recertification classes, and new teacher training (mentoring). There are some teachers who can take on a second job, but many of us can’t.
Come on, now. A large majority of teachers were private tutoring during remote learning. We know what’s really going on.
Parent here. What is really going on? Some teachers have more time because they've been teaching a while or they are single so they tutor on the side? That's been going on forever and good thing they do.
OR they need the money. But you tell me the real story since you seem to know it all.
I believe the poster was merely exposing the false nature of a teachers statement when she said no teachers tutor on the side.
Where did a teacher say that no teachers tutor on the side? I see one teacher (me) say she can’t. I also said some can, but many can’t. I doubt that’s a false statement.
A teacher had previously written it’s now since been deleted that she didn’t know any other teachers who had a side hustle.

I am looking for a job but my last pay rate for hourly work was $50/ hour and that was 15 years ago. So, no. I can think of 100 other things I would rather do for low pay that don't involve brats and or covid.
Once again, then don’t complain when schools close because other people weren’t willing to do what you weren’t willing to do.
Simple.
I mean yes, you're a simpleton if that's your logic.

I’d be happy to sub for a calc class. I did a lot of teaching when I was getting my phd but it was undergrad not HS.
This is a great idea for how to spend my volunteer hours this year. Thanks for the idea!
And the truth is you will be far better qualified to teach math than most math teachers at mcps. Please come to our school where I (in stem) have to frequently reteach my DC math and science as her "gifted" teachers only shows her process with no understanding.

I expect that with a Math background you could pick and choose your assignments. Teachers are always looking for subs who can teach the lesson plan rather than just babysit. When I was a teacher if I ever needed a sub I usually got the former, but I expect that with Covid, the latter is more prevalent than before.

I love how no one replies to this poster, who really tried
I am here for one to volunteer to pay higher taxes to raise sub wages to $50/ hr.
I propose we also get rid of half the central office, since no one is actually doing anything there (like processing applications). Then outsource it to a county where median pay is half ours.
I don’t know what to say to the PP. Maybe call? Idk but agree with raising the wages for subs whole heartedly. WHY has that not happened?

Call central office. Notify the principal of any school near you that you’d be willing to sub for.

+1. We hired a teacher who was working virtually to do afternoon tutoring 3 days a week with our kids. Her hours seemed pretty open - she has other students she tutored.
We all know the majority of teachers were doing this because they were tutoring our kids. Stop lying about your side hustles. Own it.
