Is the teacher a govt employee or are they a private business? If the latter, I'm not surprised that everyone needs more hours. The teacher is incentivized to squeeze every student for more money. It reminds me of a story from my father's youth. He had gotten a minor DUI (back when there was such a distinction), had his license suspended, and was sentenced to see a counselor for a prescribed number of visits. After those visits the counselor could, at his discretion, recommend more counseling or recommend the license be renewed. Edit to clarify: He had to see a counselor for x visits. He could choose from a list of approved counselors and he would be responsible for any fees. After the prescribed number of visits the counselor recommended more counseling. Dejected, my father went home and thought. The next day he called up the counselor and said, "You know, I don't feel that I need further counseling. I'd like to see another counselor for a second opinion." The next day he had a recommendation for license renewal from the first counselor.
