[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I emailed them re a issue I had with a teacher, and she CC THE TEACHER, THE Teacher replay to the  email.... IS she allowed to do this? [/quote]

OMG - the *exact* same thing happened to me!!  This was a few years ago, but it was mortifying.  Why do they do this??[/quote]

If your email being sent to the teacher is mortifying, you might want to think about what kind of emails you are writing. There are polite, professional ways to bring up issues that wouldn’t be embarrassing.[/quote]

Your snotty tone is a huge turnoff.  I actually did bring up the issue to the teacher first.  She completely dismissed me, so I then wrote an email to the principal, making it clear I had tried to resolve the issue with the teacher but that had not been successful.

Instead of the principal addressing the problem directly with the teacher, she decided to CC me on her email to the teacher.  The teacher then emailed me and gaslit me by pretending she was “open” to suggestions and had “no idea” why I would have taken this to the principal. Obviously, she was backpedaling after being called out.

It would have been far more productive - and less embarrassing for everyone - had the principal and teacher just dealt with this privately, especially after my email made clear I had tried doing just that unsuccessfully.[/quote]

Doesn’t the teacher deserve to know you’re the one complaining?[/quote]
