Not if you decide to use Italki or a similar service. Wrong based on....? The law? No. The website Terms and Services? Maybe, but that is a measured risk I can take as a teacher or student. The unexplained morals of the guy who called me a "snowflake" on Chinese-Forums? Yeah... This is going nowhere and is getting way off track, I've voiced my concern that these sites take too high a commission (especially Preply), and you've voiced your concern that I'm an unethical snowflake, I don't really have anything else to add unless people have specific questions about how the platforms work.

I was talking about one teacher — my teacher — and using "they" as a gender-neutral pronoun. Chill out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lu Posted May 27, 2020 at 06:01 PM Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 at 06:01 PM I think all of you can now stop the discussion of how ethical or unethical it is to meet a teacher on a platform and then move the classes off-platform. You have all said your piece and not convinced each other. Now please move on to more constructive conversation about these platforms (or to other forums threads altogether, that's fine too). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
