An Amazon Effect?

I've WFH for years and sometimes I work during business hours, sometimes at 10pm, weekends, etc. As more and more workers work from home at odd hours, they expect odd hours of service.

Although abusive people are just bad.

Maybe the solution is to run separate schools that match the hours of those student’s parents? When I first moved to this area, I was surprised to learn that day care centers only operated M-F from 7 am to 6 pm. I had lived in many major world cities with daycare centers that were 24/7 and others than were overnight only centers from 3 pm to 7 am for shift workers or people who were in entertainment. Maybe a second set of public schools that are in session from 3 pm to 9 pm would be best for those families right now. Teachers who are night owls could volunteer for those positions.

Which city had overnight daycare? That’s exactly what night nurses need!

Any city which has a plant/manufacturing which runs all 3 shifts will have a 24 hour daycare facility (or several). They aren't uncommon, if there is enough need to support the 2nd and 3rd shift, someone will step up to meet the need.

I am emailing you at 11:00pm because I work full-time, then I have to make my kids dinner, then get them to bed, clean up for a bit, and around 11:00 is the first chance I've had to sit down at my computer. I'm not expecting you to respond right away, this is just my life.

This is because you aren’t emailing at 11:00 and then emailing again at 8 am angry that you did not get a reply. But other parents are. I can guarantee that right now, someone is emailing several teachers about her children’s failing grades and she will steam all weekend because no one has responded. All of that anger will erupt early Monday morning before teachers can read her emails and reply.

Then that teacher should have some grace and patience with the parent and reply at his/her earliest opportunity.

Or.set an auto-reply so that the parent knows when to expect a reply and doesn't feel ignored.

OMG. The whole point is that functional adults should not "feel ignored" for not getting an immediate response to an email sent in the middle of the night, or 10 minutes before the weekend.

An astonishingly large percentage of the supposed adult population needs to grow the hell up and realize the world does not revolve around them and they are not the only ones in it.

Seriously, what exactly would it cost you? It takes like 2 seconds to set up.

The point is that YOU the sender should assume that the teachers will respond ASAP, meaning when they can. As in a couple of DAYS not hours.

The actual point is that rather than providing information, which literally costs you nothing, you chose to create a conflict where none actually exists. Or you have so few real problems that you actually believe that an email is a horrific offense. Go on and get yourself worked up over it, you certainly haven't got anything else to do.

What does it cost a parent to wait until Monday evening or even Tuesday morning to follow up on a Friday night email that didn’t get answered yet?

How do you manage to live? It must be very difficult being simultaneously incompetent and perpetually offended.

This is what someone deeply insecure posts when their emotional needs are not immediately met. You need intensive therapy. Your poor, poor child.

This is a weird interaction because out of the two of you, you're actually the one who comes off more childish.

More than two people posting.

Once you understand that the students and parents are customers that pay your salary you'll get it. You are there to teach and provide the highest level of customer service and quality. Look at ITIL and Service level management ensures that customers are better served ·

If Amazon can take over the public schools and provide a better experience go for it, I'd be cool with having 24-7 support even if it's another country at nightm. In fact online learning should be 24-7.

Nope. County pays teacher salaries, your contribution is a drop in the ocean

You pay the salary of a private tutor or you can pay tuition at a private school if you want.

Attending public school is in line with using a government utility or entitlement program.

I'm curious, where exactly do you think the government money comes from?

From a collective of many people that is governed by a board of education. Your voice is one of many and I guarantee as soon as you make the "customer" argument you basically don't have one because everyone stops listening to your nonsense. If you want a different relationship hire a tutor or pay for private.

Who do you believe the school board works for? You are reaching pretty far to try and find an argument which absolves you of any responsibility to your students and their parents.

If you reread you'll notice I never said "not responsible" I just said it wasn't the paying customer- service provider relationship you described. Your entitlement is showing. If that's the relationship you want you're going to be spending a lot of time whining on boards like this one. Like I said before if you want that relationship you're gonna have to pay for it

Public shcools ARE an entitlement program. Nothing wrong with that, but your argument that noone should be 'entitled' is pretty silly in context.

Entitled behavior and government entitlement programs aren't the same thing. 😁👍

Look, sorry if you overspent on your house thinking you'd better "customer service" but it is what it is.

If the teacher doesn’t email back before 11 AM, are you thrown into a fit of rage? No? Then this is not about you. Not everything is about you.
