[quote=Anonymous]I'm a teacher married to a lawyer. I have to say, I hate email-- I feel like I have to very carefully word every tiny little detail lest a parent arrive with a lawyer to scrutinize our communication. Maybe I'm paranoid. :-) That said, I find that if the phone were the only option, parents wouldn't contact me about things that are a waste of time, but with the beauty and facility of email, I get messages about how Suzy was up so late last night babysitting and just couldn't possibly do her homework and then this morning when she woke up to do it before school, the internet was down and the dog ate it and then the school bus had a flat tire... If it's important, contact me by phone or by email. If it's so trivial that you wouldn't call me about it, then don't email it to me either. (or if it's a lame excuse that your child should be making to me herself, then please, allow her to have that experience.) [/quote]
