[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Catering to parent emails" when the parent is trying to help the child get the work done should not be seen as a burden.  They're literally trying to help you teach their kid.  It's not like the parent was complaining about random stuff. [/quote]

This should be handled by the kid, including the consequences of lookung at that zero until the end of the term when the teacher enters in late work
[/quote]

It has been handled by the kid and the kid was ignored!![/quote]

The teacher ignored your student speaking to her in person?[/quote]

Yes. Brushed them off with a "I'll check" (go sit down) type gesture.  But she never got back to child and child doesn't want to pursue in person further.[/quote]This happens a lot and then the teachers will say that the DC should self advocate.  But, when they are brave enough to say or ask something, they are passed over.  It’s defeating. [/quote]

How about suggesting that your child approach a teacher before school or after school? Between classes, your child has to compete for the teacher’s attention. And that’s not the teacher’s fault; it’s simply the nature of the job. One person can only do so much in 5 minutes for 10-12 people with requests.

Yes, your child should still self advocate. Part of that is determining how, like coming after school or sending an email teachers can answer at night when they finally have a chance for a breath. I am THRILLED when I receive emails from students. I am less thrilled when parents rob their children of the opportunity to speak for themselves. [/quote]
