Teachers are PAID to spend extra time helping a student.Should a teacher expect a "tip" for spending some extra time helping out a student?
When a student signs up for a relatively cheap OW course in a group setting and does not progress at the same speed as the rest of the class and requires additional help from the instructor or DM if there is one assisting YES the student should tip.
Some classes tip generously,even if they had absolutely no issues in the course work and others expect you to work with them for hours at NO pay for them to succeed.
Standard time for our ow course is usually around 16 to 18 hours for a weekend schedule class.That is what the instructor is paid for in a group class setting. Maybe from now on,knowing the students in question will not tip, instructors should just continue the class at a rate that just everyone else in the class can do and allow problem child to continue with the group.
At end of course time inform problem child that they cannot meet standards established by agency and if they wish to continue they can PAY for private time,being that they most likely will not tip.Instructors are underpaid as it is.Would any of you like to stay after a 8 hour work day at your jobs and not be compensated for it?? Instructors must realize that this is a business,yes it is a passion for many and that is great,but after all the bubbles are gone how do you pay the bills? Do you not feel taken advantage of or used like a cheap date?
Perhaps put a statement in the student learning agreement before a course starts that if they cannot keep up this-private time at a cost$$ would be an option.
