[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Music teacher here with over 500 students. For about 20% of my student, emailing is the preferred way of communication. I have taken over the students of the part time music person who teaches in several schools. I get about 75 emails per week, spend 3-5 minute on each reading and responding. You do the math. This is my reality. [/quote] You do realize ever most working professionals in some type of knowledge-based job get dozens of emails per day. I get an average of 100 per day - most days more. I’m not so unusual. What I’m learning about teachers through this crisis is how ill-equipped many are to be professionals in a modern world, to adapt, to apply new technology, to communicate, to operate outside of their comfort zone. And the disdain that so many teachers on this forum have for a full day’s work at a time when parents are putting in 12-15 hour days just to keep their jobs. I’ve always held teachers in high regard, but perhaps the adage is true: those who cannot do, teach. [/quote]
