I started an after-school tutoring for the upcoming City Reading Test and got the parents permission, but never thought to ask the principal. Thankfully the friend I was doing this with knew to do so. I could have been in so much trouble. Then when the city changed the math test, I came to school early and invited students to come in for tutoring. And some did. <BR/><BR/>A few years ago, I wanted to have a math tutoring session during lunch (and did not ask for pay) and my admin said NO!! And she was very disrespectful in her answer to me. It seemed she no longer wanted children leaving the lunchroom to be monitors and tutoring was no exception. Ya gotta love a closed-minded individual!!<BR/><BR/><BR/>SchoolgalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29536003.post-24916975036528366122009-01-24T17:56:00.000-05:002009-01-24T17:56:00.000-05:00The benefits of a large high school--it is always ...The benefits of a large high school--it is always open.<BR/><BR/>I had to get permission for the kids to come in on Saturday.Pissedoffteacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07924089808582137198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29536003.post-88565189323454061402009-01-24T17:06:00.000-05:002009-01-24T17:06:00.000-05:00Good for you.

There are just too many hoops to jump through: I have to get permission from the kid's parents every single day, have to inform my AP, have to make sure security is still there, etc. I can't just say, "Well, stick around for half an hour and I'll help you start your homework or give you a quiet place to read for a while." It really makes me want to go back to teaching high school.Miss Eyrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07392984911266075979noreply@blogger.com
