Teacher won't email back

[Anonymous]

My student has emailed teacher twice about a missing assignment (2 weeks ago). Teacher didn't reply. Student talked to her in class and then submitted the work. Assignment is still shown missing. I emailed last Monday to get clarification and didn't hear back. I followed up last Thursday and still haven't heard back. Assignment is still showing as missing.
Teacher is definitely not absent because she has graded and sent communications about other assignments.

What's my recourse here???

I’m not sure why she has an emailed you back, but I always grade old assignments last.

Your child's lack of preparation is not the teachers emergency. Chill out.

OP here. I don't care when she grades it but I just want to make sure that my student has submitted the correct assignment and isn't confused as to what needed to be turned in. This is MS (not HS). Once I know the correct assignment has been turned in, I can wait for the grading. I just find the lack of response completely unprofessional and unconducive to a collaborative year.

Back off or next time the teacher may not be willing to accept late work. Stop punishing people for helping your kids.

this makes no sense. Take your agenda elsewhere.

If it makes no sense then how can you interpret what the "agenda" is?

Teacher here and this is unprofessional. I always email back within 24 work hours even if it's to say that I will need more time to fully answer all questions.

If your kid doesn't have and IEP, teachers don't have to respond

[Anonymous]

Take screenshots and document and if grade is unfairly low at end of marking period email an administrator.

Grades can be changed after the fact but if it's Middle school who cares.

Can you define this? Do you mean they won't be disciplined?

[Anonymous]

Teachers of kids with IEPs also do not have to respond.

So what's the recourse against teachers that don't reply?

[Anonymous]

Contact the assistant principal. See if they respond. If not, try the principal. If the principal doesn’t respond, contact the assistant superintendent in charge of which ever region your child school is in.

Depends on the principal.

Email another teacher on the team, a guidance counselor, and/or an administrator.

Or just accept that it probably doesn't matter. It's one assignment.
