I’m interested to hear the type of institution and age range of students with whom you are having 1 to 1 video calls. I’m a teacher in an 11-18 secondary school in the U.K., and we have been instructed to avoid 1 to 1s with students as a safeguarding risk.
I’m not casting any aspersions here, I’m only interested in comparing notes with a fellow teacher.

- marcosdumay 7y agoProbably, graduation and post-grad students. In undergrad 1 to 1 also happens, but they are less frequent.
- xeromal 7y agoOffice hours usually end up 1 on 1 too.
- StavrosK 7y agoThe first line of their profile says: > Mathematics (assistant) professor at the University of South Carolina.
- impendia 7y agoUniversity students, graduate and undergraduate. 1 to 1's are totally common and accepted in a university setting. You're generally supposed to leave your office door open (when having them in person), but otherwise this doesn't raise any eyebrows.
- jedberg 7y agoI'm not a teacher but my sister in law is. Her day is now just 1 on 1 with each of her students back to back. They are all under 13. In general it's not considered a risk because their parents are usually nearby if not actually on the call.
