I'd like to think that was a play on words joke from you, but probably not.

My mom was a math teacher.

And we never afforded a porch.

As we don't own a porch, I have to teach my children Math myself.

I seriously stared at the picture in the link several times, looking for a Porsche. I was pretty sure the car across the road wasn't a Porsche, and regardless it didn't seem to belong to the teacher. I decided maybe his hat had a Porsche logo on it, or it had something to do with the stripe on his clothes.

It is not the teacher's porch. He is on the porch of the girl he is teaching. The man in the picture is an adult. The girl in the picture is a 12 year old.

"My 6th grader emailed her math teacher for some help, so he came over & worked through the problem with her on our front porch."

Sorry that was my joke

On another matter why doesn't the teacher just run online classes for all his students rather than giving special treatment for his favourite?

It's amazing how much criticism this teacher is getting for helping out a student.

Teachers are doing online for their classes all over the world.....him giving special classes for one student seems a bit like favouritism

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.

Got it...although you can still do one on one classes and share screens etc online so the stunt is a little overblown for those of us who use online platforms
