Should I Get a Tutor For Computer Science? Is Breaking the Honor Code Possible?

Should I Get a Tutor For Computer Science? Is Breaking the Honor Code Possible?If I get a tutor for computer science is that breaking the honor code? In my state I can tutor students in most subjects, but my biology class is being taught by a single female teacher. She has no interest in helping me out and it frustrates me.The only interaction I have with her is when she is teaching my other classes. They give her a cookie for every subject she teaches and she is not doing very well. So, I decided to help her out and she graciously agreed.Now, it is true that in my state the state law prohibits discrimination and a teacher who discriminate in a student's social relationship can be found guilty of breaking the law. But, I think I would be equally guilty if I made an instructor have a tutor for computer science.Are you thinking that if I got a tutor for computer science I would have to get a woman in the same grade as me or even worse a man? Don't be so narrow minded! Women are now tak ing on a majority of all college degrees and so much more. In the next 10 years women will make up about 50% of all graduates.If we get a tutor for computer science, we can help many more women get their bachelor's degrees in computer science. Also, many more men will be looking for a job in this area and will want to attend a computer science degree course. So, if we do our part and keep the economy going strong then we will continue to get a lot of people into computer science.Yes, I realize that in some instances a teacher breaking the honor code is against the law, but as you said, getting a tutor for computer science is breaking the honor code. Don't you think it would be nice to teach a class and be able to work with someone who actually is interested in helping you, who is not a stereotype? Why don't we try to find one more successful female teacher and let her teach a computer science class? We all know there aren't that many around right now.Please consider all this and thi nk on it. Thanks for reading.
