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.

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.

That teacher does not have time for your obsessive nonsense.

this makes no sense. Take your agenda elsewhere.

Actually it made a lot of sense. This kind of hassle is why many teachers refuse to accept late work.

Oh yeah. It's such "obsessive nonsense" for a parent to stay on top of their kids and make sure they're doing their work. It's so totally ludicrous.

You their job is to teach, not to email parents, right? This is why teachers are quitting in droves.

Then that should be stated at the onset. But it's not and they do have a late policy and this isn't even about late/versus no late. It's about wanting to make sure my kid has done the proper assignments. Collaboration between home and school is necessary for success.

If the parent here had been on top of it with their kid, and made sure they were doing their work, then this wouldn’t be an issue…

We are here because the kid didn’t do their work on time.

Often. Not always.

Can you ask your kid if they did the right assignment?

Do you hear that? It’s the sound of yet another teacher running from the building screaming “I quit.“

I've never seen such defense of teachers on DCUM.

Maybe people just want to dump on OP...

In MS, work is done at school. If it's not, it shows up as missing and the parents need to remediate. Can we stop blaming the parent here for trying to get their kid to turn in all assignments? Some of you are ridiculous. Probably teachers.

Seriously. So many angry teachers who think replying to emails is "above their pay grade" . No one wonder they have no respect.

I wouldn’t escalate. If parents make my life difficult, they will find their lives will become more difficult. Responses are 1-3 words and I will grade their students work the night before the quarter ends.

Maybe this was just our ES, but I always heard from teachers that they had a 24 hour time limit for responses to parents?

A friend who is an SBTS mentioned he also has a 24 hour time limit to respond to parents.

I really hope, angry teacher, that you are a troll.
