She is wanting to pay me and offered me money. The student is a current student of mine and will be repeating first grade next year due to academics. By school policy, he will be my student next year also. It would not be during school hours nor on the school property? Is this a code of ethnic violation? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Unless your district has rules regarding this situation, it is unethical to profit off of students. Even if you are technically doing your job as a teacher and teaching a child, this child is not your student over the summer and using your position as their teacher to make money would be violating these ethics, even if you were approached with this opportunity. It is worth noting, however, that there's no rule saying you can't help a student find tutoring. Don't accept money for this, obviously, but if you are more concerned with helping the student succeed, you could recommend professional tutoring services that CAN accept money ethically. (Just make sure you're not affiliated at all and make sure the parents know that it is not the SCHOOL recommending them)
