Are you being sarcastic? I hope not.

In the process of trying to change the way reading was taught, I ran a group for concerned parents, which included doing several talk radio shows. This resulted in many parents calling me and asking if I would teach their children to read, spell and write. I agreed to try and all of the kids became proficient readers and spellers. Their attitudes changed completely and their parents were thrilled.

During this time I also volunteered in the neighbourhood school, even though by this time my two were in a private high school. I tutored every morning in the school, free of charge. I worked with small groups, and helped about 24 children over the course of a year. I feel I was quite generous with my time, but, yes, I did charge parents to tutor their children and they were happy to receive the help.

No, I was very serious. Everybody should do the same thing. The US is a big mess. Ideally, every educated person would be in the tutoring business, basically, helping everyone else to catch up.
