Hil, the student may have had a bad experience with a male tutor. The bonus could be a commitment incentive for the student. The student probably didn't think a great deal about how it would be read.
No doubt my Bobby responds better to a male teacher. Doesn't make any difference to Brendon.
Thanks amych. I'm just hoping that he discovers a passion about something some day. He could be a professional reader. He can read for 12 hours straight.
Yes I do end up guest lecturing and teaching Master Classes at universities quite a bit. It looks like I will also be teaching a class at CalArts next semester.
I teach the occasional Seminar, but that doesn't count at all, does it?
I've taught legal research classes, and I am pretty sure Sparky1 still does.
I teach krav!
Okay, perhaps you meant something where people sit down more.
Wait, ita. You might be onto something. Laura, you
could
krav the boys 'til they do their work.
Hil, I think I'd respond and then evaluate from there.
can make him do the damn work, but I can't make him care.
Well, your one step ahead of where my mother was. She couldn't make me do homework unless I liked the subject and wanted to from about 4th grade on. If I understood how to do long division in class I couldn't understand why I had to do 30 problems of it. Also, if I passed the pre-test in spelling on Monday why did I have to write the words out all week long? Like I said, I was very stubborn. By 11th grade I had enough really great teachers that I did my homework to not dissapoint them.
Congratulations, ChiKat!!!

Hi, StolenCubicle!
I teach krav!
My line of work kinda hovers between health care and teaching, and I never know which to claim as my "industry" on surveys. I administer meds, take vital signs, do physical therapy exercises, monitor symptoms, and teach individuals a wide range of daily living skills ranging from the most basic, like how to set a cup down upright instead of on its side, to the more complex, like how to plan balanced meals and make grocery lists. Essentially, my job is the same as parenting, but with lots of paperwork. And? I get to go home at night. Usually.
Hivemind -
I'm working on invites for a birthday party for my mom. I know we have discussed this stuff before, but what is a gracious way to say "no gifts please, unless you want to take her out to lunch or write a fun memory in your card". K-Bug proposed "no material gifts", which is closer, but still not there.
Wordsmiths - please help.
