[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well this is what stops me from writing to parents more often. I do monthly updates because while I am really good at math and physics, I am not good at writing. I would rather have room to make mistakes than any parent appreciation gift cards or trinkets btw.[/quote]

Get someone to re-read your emails, then. But it's perfectly fine if you don't email parents regularly. My children's best teachers did not communicate with parents. But they were AMAZING teachers. Go be your amazing self in the classroom.[/quote]

Right except, it's really not that hard to proofread an email.  Don't we expect our students to do the same? I would not judge a teacher's performance by the grammar in their emails. [b]But if you want to be taken as a true professional[/b], multiple typos don't help your case. I think just about every profession requires writing, and people judging that writing. [/quote]

I consider myself a quasi-professional masquerading as a professional in some contexts particular in early childhood education (my field). I think that sums up how society feels about teachers.  I don’t have strong writing skills. For example, the beginning of your post “right except,”. Doesn’t really meet any grammar requirements I know of, but again, I am not sure.

I would need more time to put together a well written email.  I don’t have the time and if I took it, I would miss time with my family because it would be personal time.  This is also why I don’t ask co-workers to look over my newsletters, we are in so many meetings, I would rather make sure the kids work is together than proof read my co-workers emails. Luckily, the parents in my room and my principal haven’t complained about it too much.  Maybe I should look into chat whatever to start writing news letters!
