Tutors who participated in the program began talking about what they would be, what career they wanted. Many of them, not surprisingly, wanted to be teachers. Many of them wanted to be architects, doctors or law enforcement officers. The possibilities for them become wider and more positive. Tutors get paid.
Tutors receive a stipend for the tutoring that they do.
That serves two purposes. One is to provide a source of money to the many financially needy students while they are in school. The other is to give students an early experience in the world of work. Just as we adults are paid for our work, so are the students. And whether we think it is enough or not, that we get paid is a measure, a symbol of the appropriateness and worth of what we do.
