[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure what you are after here. Schools already have scheduled hours. As a side note, while I am not abusive about it, if I have a scheduled appointment at my doctor's office, I don't appreciate showing up on time only to be asked to wait another 3-4 hours because they habitually overbook to maximize profitability.  I'll just leave and find a doctor/dentist/therapist/whatever who doesn't do that. Like the doctor, if you want me to respect your time and consider your needs, you will have to do the same for me. If I email you at midnight, I don't think you are even going to look at it immediately, so don't interpret it as some horrible affront, that was just when I had time to write the email. Respond during whatever time you have to do that and I'll read it when I get time. That's why we have email (faster than a letter, less intrusive than a phone call)[/quote]

Emailing the teacher at 10 pm is not a problem. Emailing a teacher at 11 pm to ask why haven’t you answered the email I sent an hour ago? That’s a problem.[/quote]

The teacher should respond the next day my work hours are from XX to XX and I try to respond at other times but if it is outside my work hours you can expect a response within 24 hours of the next business day.[/quote]

Even if your work hours as a teacher are 8:30 to 4:30, that does not mean that an email sent at 4:20 should get a same day answer. We have a matter right now that involves 3 state agencies. DH and are both teachers and can’t make phone calls during our work hours. As soon as we are off the clock, we start dialing. No one answers the phones at these agencies after 4:30. Then the return our calls at 10 am while we are teaching.  We’ll have to take a day off?[/quote]
