That's where you know mcps has crap admins. If you work any other job and decide not to respond to emails, you can kids your ass goodbye but it's 50/50 any given teacher will decide to respond to your email.. especially middle and high school level.[/quote]

High school teacher here.

I have less than an hour a day to plan, grade, eat lunch, attend meetings, answer emails, call parents, go to the bathroom, update data, etc. I have 140 students and I’m inundated with emails all day long. Yes, they pile up until I get a chance to breathe and then answer them. That usually happens between 10-12pm every night.

Yes, I respond to emails within 48 hours. But let’s not pretend it’s laziness on the part of the teachers. We are doing the work of 2-3 people with limited time and resources. [/quote]

48 hours is reasonable and the point is you DO answer them when you can.  Some teachers NEVER answer them from the kids or parents, even when they tell the kids to email.  If its not an emergency a few days or even a week is fine.[/quote]
