As a retired math teacher, I tutor now and get a lot of work. There's a family I work for who immigrated here, legally or illegally, I don't know. They homeschool their daughter and I stop by twice a week to help get her through high school math. They never shared with me what they do for income. Today, I came over at a scheduled time and both parents wearing the medical boots we have frequently seen of noted politicians and celebrities. When I inquired, they told odd stories of how they fractured their ankles in two separate incidents. I found the stories hard to believe. Hanging around this site and VOAT before that, I know that these boots have been used to hid ankle monitors.
Do you think I have a reason to be suspicious?
So we have Sikh Indians and Burmese immigrants coming in by hundreds into our area. The Burmese very poor, on the other hand the Indians are all living in $500k+ or higher homes. Drive very expensive cars and pay for their parents and grandparents to live here in homes of the same kind close by in same neighborhood. The wife works from home as an IT consultant and I have yet to see the husband leave the house much at all. One income can’t pay for 2 homes of that magnitude. A lady down the street said they were receiving money from Indian Govt to live here. I have no idea but something very fishy is going on.
This family has the same situation. The father, who is from Yemen, is always home when I'm there to tutor. Either he's extremely worried about this 65-year-old man working with his teenage daughter or he doesn't have a regular job. They live in a nice suburb in my county. I would guess his age as late 40s.
True, but I didn’t survive 40+ years of public school teaching by molesting minors. Although, I understand the propriety they want.
Chandler15: So you never have Customer Service calls with people speaking in Indian accents? Happens to me all the time. In fact, all over the world accents. So relieved when I get an American on the line.
I sure do! I’m familiar with those calls because I work in IT. We pay them $3/hour in India to take customer service calls. We don’t pay them $100k year to be on the phone as customer service in the US though. This couple is paying for Grandparent and Parents $500k home expenses down the street and their own home. They just purchased their home for $690k and they all drive $60k cars. Or maybe the Indian Govt is paying them all to live here? And this is one family. There are now hundreds living in this area buying up every house that goes on the market. I also prefer an American on the phone who can actually understand my English!
