[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Less than 10 kids in my DC's class and I'm getting so tired of his teacher not responding to emails.  She never works off the clock.  [b]Emails are sent only during her planning period or at the end of the day if at all.[/b]  I've sent a few--direct questions--that have been totally ignored.  School has in general been resistant to putting a communication plan in the IEP.  She is always super friendly to your face.  [/quote]

Less than kids can mean more work than if there were 20+ kids.  If she's not responding to you during the teaching day, that means she's busy teaching your child.

OP, if she doesn't respond to your questions, type them out and the next time you see her, hand her the list, and say, I'd like you to review these questions I have.  Let me know by next week your thoughts or sooner if you don't understand what I'm asking.  Thank you.

She may not responding to your one off questions about curriculum b/c either you're not clear in how you're wording them or she doesn't know how to answer them.  First, seek to clarify if you're unclear.  Second, if she can't answer them, find out why.[/quote]

You're either the "Hyper parents = in denial parents" PP or someone with similar, limited experience.  Your post is ridiculous.  Emails should be acknowledged within 24 hours of receipt.  The acknowledgement may be 'I got your email and will respond tomorrow'; 'I'm not the right person to respond so I've forwarded it to Ms. Larla', 'I'm unclear about what you're asking', or with the answer.  If the teacher is unable to do so, her professionalism should be question and/or her ability to organize her work.

And, as a PP noted, anyone with any kind of experience with IEPs knows you need a paper trail.  I can tell you that we've won significant concessions from the school system because of untimely responses from school staff. Lack of clarity in a parent' email does not absolve the schools system from responding to an email in a timely fashion.  What would an independent 3rd party view how long it takes you to respond to an email?  The ones that have reviewed ours determined 24 hours /next business day was reasonable.[/quote]
