[quote=Anonymous]Recently at a gathering, parents with kids in 9th grade and "upper" middle school asked parents with older students how to get their kid ready for four years of high school in MCPS. One of the suggestions made by a few was to have your kid learn to email their teachers/reach out if they have questions or concerns about their classes. [i]Isn't that obvious?[/i] Don't students already know in middle school (taking seven or eight different classes) to reach out to their teachers either in-class or by email?

What if student contacts teacher in-person and follows up by email but teacher doesn't respond? Unnecessary stress on students. Yes, teachers have many students but teachers have a duty to respond to students within a few days. Sometimes a kid is just asking a yes or no question or for a simple clarification. Unfortunately when dealing with some teachers, follow-up by a parent is necessary.

What GREAT advice can you share with parents and students about high school in MCPS?[/quote]
