Sound Familiar?

You teach 25 students weekly: 20 in-person ($50/30 min) and 5 virtual ($40/30 min). Today: 6 lessons back-to-back. One student cancelled 30 minutes before (no charge or charge?). Another wants to switch from Tuesday to Thursday permanently. You bill monthly and track credits for missed lessons in your head. Two families owe you for last month. A recital is in 4 weeks and you need to coordinate 25 students' pieces.
