[quote=Anonymous]Just curious about opinions. My husband mentioned to me that his son/my stepson had emailed a teacher to ask about a part of a homework assignement he had forgotton to write down. I mentioned how funny that was that kids could get access to teachers after school now, and he told me that DSS has been doing it regularly, like two or three times a week (granted to different teachers) with quesionts like "did we have any homework" or "can you resend me X assignment" or even "my printer doesn't work, so I can't bring in this assignment" I said, at that point, that perhaps he should talk to him, as it seems really inappropriate to be bothering teachers after school with such mundane questions. And it might be better to brainstorm on ways to do better at recording homework, locating assignments, contacting friends, or using pen and paper if the priner breaks!  But dh feels like if the teachers didn't want to respond they woudl just say so.

So, am I hopelessly behind the email times....or would other parents of younger middle schoolers discourge their kids from doing this.

(Required stepmom disclaimer....this is vague curiousity only. Of course, it is up to DH. But, I do get the urge to practice my preteen parenting responses for when our DD is that age!)[/quote]
