Community College Tutoring (2 of 2): Professor Flux.

So, way back at the beginning of term, my one student at one community college said that it had taken a couple weeks for them to get a professor for her remedial comp class.

Now, the professor dropped out, just after midterms, so the school is having a fill-in for a couple sessions until they can find a new one.

I find that just sick.

Pay is so low and there's so little commitment to employees, there's a revolving door of professors even during the term, and the students suffer.

It shouldn't have to be like this.

On the other hand, my student said that she was learning more from working an hour a week with me than from the six hours weekly in class, so that was a very satisfying teaching moment.
