Me today after getting a message on my PERSONAL email from a parent asking about private tutoring for their child during the summer. Not even asking about information on summer school, just straight up asking me if they can hire me to privately tutor their kid during my upcoming summer break.

I'd tell them I charge $100/hr.

You either won't hear back or make a good chunk of extra money!

So clearly your personal email is posted where parents can find it. Many schools have rules about allowing their employees to work as a private tutor for students outside of sanctioned school tutoring opportunities. This parent was actually smart about not sending it to your work email. If you aren’t interested, say so. Many teachers love to make extra income doing 1:1 tutoring. It’s not that deep.

They might be willing to pay you more than what the district would pay for summer school! I might consider it

Uh…… that’s a NO REPLY.

I would consider how they got your personal email.

I’ve tutored privately. The most important thing, if you are considering, is how it’s going to effect your summer plans? They may want babysitting/tutoring for 6 hours 5 days a week or an hour a day. Have some sources for them to take their child else where if your time is not as open as they think it is.

They can offer to pay me $500 an hour, but I am not rearranging my summer plans.

I agree with you advice especially the last part. I can’t do summer school and won’t rearrange my schedule.

Only one thing I disagree with…”have some sources for them to take their child elsewhere.” Not the teacher’s job to figure this out for parents. A yes or no with cost (if you do it) is all that is needed.

If they use your personal email and/or phone number you could be open to termination and or losing your license.

If ONE THING goes wrong, an allegation, or your district finds out you are in commmunication with a family and child through an unofficial method of communication… only communicate/ meet through official channels to back yourself. Notify admin immediately. No one will be in trouble, but if you do not get ahead and there is an issue..

As admin I open up myself to termination if I give out personal phone or send ONE text and I have had to fire coaches, subs, one teacher and a counselor no matter what their intentions.

“Id do it” or “make extra cash”? Really bad idea.

Typical admin. Useless advice.

That’s a NO can do.

We aren’t allowed to tutor our own students here in MA- it violates the conflict of interest laws we have to follow here. Do they not have the laws in other states?

TLDR: Getting over your ex of 2.5 years ghosting you after they said they wanted to reconnect.

I was dating someone for about 2.5 years and then we broke up because of COVID and the long distance was making it too difficult to continue. The break up must’ve been like a 4-5 minute FaceTime because I was very distraught. After we broke up, she started seeing someone else but I was heartbroken and it’s taken me over a year to really get over everything and process those feelings. (Cont.)

I don’t understand how someone can lie about loving you for 6 months. We were together for almost a year (broke up a week before our anniversary). I said I love you first and he said it back. I asked for more reassurance last month with saying I love you more often. Now all of a sudden he said he didn’t know if he loved me and that love meant marriage for him. Okay well great thanks for telling me this now, 6 months after it was initially exchanged. I don’t understand how he could do that.

I know everyone will have different answers for this but how did you know it was time to get sober? I think it might be time for me to find a new job and pursue sobriety, but I don't feel like I'm a rock bottom which is the only time I've ever seen people really commit to it (my father). Apathy isn't the right word but I just kind of feel numb about everything and I think being sober would maybe help.

Just found out that my favorite aunt, who claimed I was her “favorite” niece, chose to leave all her valuables to her other two nieces who never visited or called her once in the last ten years. My aunt passed away suffering from cancer last year and didn’t have her own kids. I was there by her side throughout her battle. I still wish I had done more, made her life easier. I probably sound petty, but a part of me is forcing me to re-evaluate every interaction I ever had with her.

I’m so scared to let a relationship that gives me anxiety go because I’m 36 F and feel like I’m not going to find anyone else. He’s not a horrible person, but he can be inconsistent. When I bring it up to him he says he’ll try harder but then always goes back to default. I stick around because I think it’s more a personality trait and not that he’s not interested in me (maybe I’m naïve). Could really use some encouragement from a bunch of strangers.
