[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you should email the next level above the teacher if you do not hear back. If your school has division heads or department heads go there before HOS.

A good HOS will forward the email to the appropriate supervisor, but some will cause more trouble for the teacher than you probably  have in mind.

If you have reason to believe that the teacher is intentionally ignoring you, by all means go nuclear.

Please don’t go nuclear. This is why we lose teachers.

I’m a teacher. I get 25-30 emails a day, most of which require developed responses. I get 45 minutes of free time a day, which includes my lunch. It’s also the only time at work I have to call parents, plan lessons, and grade papers.

I do most of my work in the evenings and on weekends. I schedule email responses to send the following morning because I don’t want parents to know I’m writing responses at 10:30pm or 12:30am.

Please be kind to teachers right now. We’re overworked. I’m not excusing teachers who don’t respond, but I’m hoping to shed light on what many of us are facing.[/quote]
