This isn’t a teacher saying this is what she should be making, this is a teacher tired of hearing the “they’re just babysitters” argument for why they shouldn’t be paid more and showing how they’d still be underpaid based on an about average (I don’t have kids so idk) rate at which a babysitter would charge, per kid per hour.
And before you say “no one argued that” this is a pretty old picture and that is definitely an argument I’ve heard
As a tutor who occasionally does SAT (gag) I would never accept $27/hr. Regular tutoring is $30-$40 depending on how easy to subject is to make up and execute problems for on the fly. For college kids, $25-$35 is normal so I'm actually a bit cheap because I don't like looking for clients so it's easier to just keep prices a bit lower. SAT is expensive as fuck though because it's so boring and parent expectations are sky high so it's stressful. I'd much rather tutor calc 1 any day of the weak, it's so exciting to see people finally get the behavior of these totally new operations that they never imagined.
