[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I sent an email out on Tuesday just checking in on them.  3 out of 120 students opened the email so far[/quote]

This is why virtual school is a delusional myth. It doesn't work because kids aren't motivated to do it and if you're not standing in front of their faces, they will ignore and procrastinate. The data already told us this, but too many parents are in denial.[/quote]

The you fail them.  It doesn’t work because of parents like you. Kids don’t check emails.  They get too many.  You need to email parents and post on canvas. [/quote]

I teach High School students.  I don't teach parents.  Its the student's responsibility to care about their grades and future.  Personally, I will not take action on anything unless I hear it directly from a student.  A parent can e-mail me all they want about whatever they want and I will politely and professionally respond to them that if it's important to the student, they can tell me themself.  It's like when I worked in the Marines as a payroll specialist, I refused to take calls and answer questions from spouses calling about their husbands pay.  If he cared, he'd call.[/quote]

This isn't the marines and some kids are struggling for what ever reason. And, you cannot discuss payroll with spouses.  Students are minors and yes, you deal with the parents too.  Many military men are busy at work and work long hours and don't have an easy desk job like you so us, as the spouses take care of a lot of it.  Making an medical appointment can take hours to get ahold of the clinic and the right person.   Don't complain if you don' tmaek it easy for them to see the assignments as they get tons of email a day.  If its not on canvas, they will not see it.  [/quote]
