[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids in MS are learning how to be good students including how to communicate with teachers. The skill continues to evolve through HS. Some kids learn it quickly and others take time.

As Far as teachers not responding, I’d cross that bridge when you come to it. I have three kids who went through MCPS (last one graduated last year). Not once did my kids have issues with staff being unresponsive. So I wouldn’t waste my time preparing my kids for something unlikely to happen.

So here’s a piece of advice. If your kids play a fall sport in HS, tryouts are the second week of August and practice starts immediately after that. Another piece of advice. Your kids will need a sports physical in order to participate. [/quote]

NP. My kid does email his teachers but there are 2 who never respond. Never. [/quote]

PP to whom you’re responding. Just to clarify. Not every email got an email response. But every email got an answer. For example, a teacher may have said that they received the email and to come see them at lunch. Or an email to the counselor may have resulted in a pass to visit the counselor’s office for a discussion. Or there might have been a quick discussion before or after class. Or they may have been told to check the class notes that were posted and to let the teacher know if they still had questions. But teachers were definitely responsive.

I’d suggest that people go to BTSN and to get involved with their schools. Teachers and others who work with your kids want to see your kids be successful and you will get a good feel for the work they do if you become an involved parent.
