How do the students turn in assignments and/or get live help on their assignments?


They go to class. Teachers should not be helping students outside of school hours. They should have a life and meet their own needs as humans. For that matter students shouldn't be doing more than 6-7 hours of school work per day, which they already get at school. Students have no need to turn in assignments outside of normal hours, and it's unhealthy to encourage them to do so (this is where uni professors really need to stop setting computers to accept work at midnight. Horrible habit to build that needs to be untaught when people start working).


When I was in university, midnight was well inside “normal hours” for me (mostly by choice, not by crushing workload despite being at a competitive school).


> Teachers should not be helping students outside of school hours.

I agree. But for some reason teachers work after school and at weekends, for free. I’m unsure why they don’t just stop.


Because some of those teachers really want the kids to achieve and are bound by a sense of duty and care for their students.

Good teachers aren't paid enough. Aren't paid anywhere near enough.
