[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know, sometimes I make grammatical errors as a teacher. Sometimes I see them but I’m in a hurry and I choose to ignore it.
Sometimes my work is overwhelming and I let these little things slide but this is good to know, I will just take more time responding to parents, instead of getting back to them ASAP.[/quote]

DCPS teacher here. This is weak. I know how much pressure we are under. Even so, don’t let it slide while still replying ASAP. You don’t need to hire a proofreader, but take a moment to fix your errors. We have a responsibility to set a good example and set the bar high for our students. We all make the occasional mistake, just try not to!![/quote]

Nah, I have 48 hours to respond but usually I respond within 30 minutes. Now I will take a day. Also I teach PK, not upper elementary or on. Chill, you have no idea what pressure I am personally under or my life story.

I generally don’t make mistakes in emails but in texts I sometimes do. If parents don’t like that email me and I won’t give you my personal number and answer your questions at 9pm.

Teachers cannot win during Covid, always some whiny complaint. If you do not like how the teacher presents their emails just tell them instead of whining about it on here. [/quote]

I’m not answering parent or student emails after 5 pm or on the weekend anymore. And a lot more emails are getting a form letter response. My mentee got seven form letter shells from her undergrad program and asked me if they were any good. I added some district lingo and they were perfect. Most emails fall into three or four categories anyway:

Larlo is a genius and your grades aren’t showing that.
Larla is the specialest girl in the world and has a right to do that thing the district says students can’t do.
I am so offended by that thing that my child claims you did/said/are. 
Just a heads up that we won’t do this assignment or attend class because we have more important things to do like travel soccer or Disney or my fifth cousin’s stepdaughter’s third wedding.[/quote]
