Just commenting because I'm setting up a private school and am becoming increasingly acquainted with incentive compensation in education: is this even an attainable skill set in a single educator for ~$55K/year full-time? Perhaps such a person could be hired on a part-time basis at that rate (is this what you had in mind, HK?), but that rate of pay is well below the market rate I'm facing here in an urban area.

My gut instinct is that retired teachers could be hired in subject blocks (e.g. humanities/LA, STEM), with your children supervised outside of part-time tutoring by a university student or yourself, for that budget.


What is to give light must endure burning.
