There’s been a tradition, over many years, of teachers providing special lessons for students without ulterior motives at all.

I give special lessons when necessary. My autistic adult student can't deal with a Zoom lesson, he wants to continue seeing me in my home but of course we are in lockdown. I would go to his home and teach on his porch if I could but I am high risk and destined to be shut away for eons to come.
I have given private lessons for one of my students at the language school where I taught because he had dyslexia and he needed a one on one lesson. I didn't charge him because that would have been illegal. His family made all kinds of pasta for a living so sometimes he would surprise me and fill my freezer with canneloni and ravioli, lasagna and tiramasu. I could murder some tiramasu just now....... yum :lol:

She watched the online lesson, and she tried emailing him with questions. He lives on her street so he used a white board to show her. It's not like he went much out of his way. I don't know why people think this is abnormal. It's his job to help the students, but he was also a neighbour.

I think that maybe some people did not read the article; or if they did, then maybe they did not comprehend the details.

Usually on the school grounds and under special arrangements.

Do you think Mr. Kotter was creepy ?

There was a show about a teacher whose students used to visit him at home. Called “Welcome Back Kotter.” Nobody thought he was creepy.

I used to go to my teacher’s house sometimes. He was married and had a kid. He never tried anything with me.

Nonsense.

What the teacher did is called tutoring.

Tutoring is when a teacher goes to a student's house to teach the student.

I was tutored the same way on several occasions (except the teacher came into the house since there wasn't a quarantine going on)

There is nothing unusual, questionable or inappropriate about it.

You were out to unfairly vilify this teacher from the beginning and are still trying to come up with something.

If its so regular to give one one tutoring for free (I am not aware of anyone who does this for free where I live) then why is this story so newsworthy?

It has been thoroughly explained to you that nothing wrong was going on, yet you still persist.
So it's pointless continuing and feels like being trolled.
As for "calling you names" there's no way I can think of to complement you on this.

I'm not necessarily saying the math teacher had ulterior motives, he is likely good hearted

it's just the story is overblown....but then again viral videos tend to be....

You're the one who over blew a simple little human interest story from a news site that specializes in them.
