[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]nothing. Just regular stuff like how the kids are doing. I know my kid is not eager to follow instructions and prefer to do what he likes. I wanted to make sure these are not big issues for the teacher and the class.[/quote]

How old is your child?    If your child is in elementary school....being not eager to follow instuctions is normal....and the teacher knows how to handle it.

Your teacher is teaching 25 or so kids in their class.   If they had time to respond to every parent email asking "How my kid is doing today?" and regular stuff like that- they wouldn't have time to TEACH!

There is a process for contacting parents if there is a problem with a student:   
1.  Call the parent.    2.   Interim reports    3.   Parent-Teacher conferences.

If there is a problem that requires your immediate attention....your child's teacher will contact you!     They have your email and phone number.

Also,  there is such a thing as "interim" reports"--given half way through the 9 week grading period.    It's to give you the "heads up" that your child needs to work on some issues.   Then there's the parent/teacher conference.     THAT's the time to talk about any concerns.      The rest of the time, try to back off and let the teacher do her job.

I do agree that it wouldn't hurt for a teacher to get back to you within 24 hours....even simply to say "I've got your question and will get back to you on xxxx date/time with a response.
