[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what's the recourse against teachers that don't reply?[/quote]

I wouldn’t escalate. If parents make my life difficult, they will find their lives will become more difficult. Responses are 1-3 words and I will grade their students work the night before the quarter ends. [/quote]

I really hope, angry teacher, that you are a troll.[/quote]

So it’s OK to immediately email the superintendent about a teacher not responding to an email? The parent should at least know what some of the repercussions of that action might be.[/quote]

No, that's definitely not the tactic I would take. Wait a few days, try again, wait a day, reach out to department head or assistant principal depending on who the next up the chain is. But this parent has already done the waiting part, her kid has advocated for herself digitally and verbally. Going up the chain might make the teacher's life difficult, but the teacher is not following policy (as I understand it) on prompt responses. Sorry - that's part of the job.

Teachers like yourself don't do the profession any favors by acting like it's so difficult to deal with a clearly confused kid and parent who seem to mean well.[/quote]
