I'm thinking of becoming a special ed teacher with a particular interest in math. I have gen ed certification in grades 7-12. I've heard a lot about people who do P3 and make a parnasa that way. I have a few questions:

1) What opportunities exist for doing P3 as a full-time job?
2) How much money do you make?
3) What do you do about health insurance?
4) advantages/disadvantages/anything else you want to add?

Thanks!

no health insurance youre considered a independent contractorfrom the doe.
usually p3 is during english which automatically is half day. sometimes its from an agency and doubt they offer health insurance but who knows?
one student is 41.95 an hr
2 at one time is 62 something I think
3 is 83 simething
having 5 students is 100 an hour.
You're allowed to have up to 8 students in a group but it caps off at 5 so it stays a 100 something an hour.
You have to pay into your own taxes because you're an independent contractor and no employer to pay employment tax.

Assuming half a day, how much do P3s make per year, on average?

Does it make sense to try to get a morning job and then an afternoon job as a P3?

I know that a P3 wouldn't get insurance through the employer. My question is, if not through the employer, what do people do about health insurance? (I don't know because my current job provides health insurance.)

I get health insurance through the state marketplace, aka Obamacare. Or marry someone with benefits...
If you work for an agency then you can get employee benefits, only some agencies offer full time caseloads that would apply to, and it would probably be a lower hourly rate in exchange for that benefit and stability.
