Asking to hire a tut is a waste of time. One person asks, then has to wait for a reply which may not be favorable and could take 24 hrs or more. How does hiring a tutor show disrespect? In the end, aren't we all playing a game? And doesn't everyone deserve a chance to grow and earn? I mainly hire campus beggars. Often 10-20 a day. If you think it's worth everyone's time to stop, ask, and wait for a reply, you are insane. Bottom line on tuts: I check pupil for real system war. If they are in one, I give respect and don't hire. If they are in pwar, party or no war, I go ahead and hire. That is how it should work, in my opinion.
Disagree with thread. Biased definitions of respect based on how the author feels about certain topics (ie hiring tutors).
