I'm sorry, but MOST of your students parents do not have email addresses? Babe, no. Maybe they don't check them, or maybe they won't provide them to you, but they all have email addresses.

Anyway, your solution to some parents not providing emails is to force everyone to use a crappy phone app? That makes no sense. Class Dojo is terrible. It doesn't work. And I say that as a parent who is on top of stuff and would check the weather before a field trip and in any case don't even buy my kid crap shoes like Crocs or flip flops -- those are pool shoes, not actual shoes.

Anyway, a huge problem with parental communication these days is the reliance in bad technology and multiple passive forms of communication by schools and educators. Yes parents are probably also crappier at communicating. But it's everyone's problem -- in my 8 years as a public school parent, ONE of my kids' teachers was good at communicating. And I work in comms. Schools are universally bad at it.[/quote]

Most. That is correct. Looking at my grading portal, 8/24 kids have an email address listed for a parent. Nearly all of them are English speakers. Most of my non-English speaking parents don’t have one. Why is it so hard to believe that some parents are different than you? [/quote]

This is DCUM…90%+ of us have kids at UMC schools where 95%+ have emails.
