Why are the rich pulling their kids out of school?
"We've had one family from the Middle East request a residential teacher to teach at their children within their penthouse in Knightsbridge because even getting to a school with drivers and guards is so much of a hassle," Spriggs said.
Teach at their children? Really?
Teacher: You will be paying me to teach your children?
Father: No, we are paying you to teach *at* our children.
Teacher: I'm a bit confused.
Father: Our children will not be taking orders from the likes of you.
Teacher: If your children would prefer to do other things while I am teaching...
Father: Then you will teach *at* them, in a low calming voice, as they do those other things!!
Teacher: Can I speak to their mother about this?
Father: You may speak *at* her. Don't expect a reply though. Like our children, she does not speak to the help.
Perhaps teachers really are underpaid. I don't think I could be one for more than a few minutes in that environment. ;)
