[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's kind of funny that OP has two kids who previously attended private school (at least $40K for the two per year), and is sending her kids back to private school (another bill for $40K this year)... and yet, she expects to get $80 of school supplies back.

Stop jumping on her - she wrote above did not want them back. [/quote]

She says that now, but a few minutes earlier, she admitted that she sent two emails and one was specifically addressed to the teacher(s) in order to GET THE SUPPLIES BACK.

I quote:

Op here. Here are the 2 emails sent with no response 
1. Email sent to Principal/Registrar about withdrawing one child from Public school to move him to private - no reply/response - nothing. Not a word !!! They have deleted the student accounts etc. though so we know they have received our email. 
2. Email sent to class teacher about collecting the school supplies from the class - not a word back from the teacher again[/quote]

Her question though was " Is it normal to have no acknowledgement of emails in Public Schools". Am sure she is not crying over $80 of supplies when her kids are in private. Its the lack of response that she is questioning[/quote]

DP.  I don't expect email responses from teachers during the school day.  I do expect to receive a response within a day or two, and usually I do.  [/quote]

Sure, you should absolutely expect to receive a response within a day or two from your child's teacher.  But this isn't the kid's teacher.  
And the teacher in question is probably really annoyed at the family right now anyway.  She spent the last few weeks getting the class together based on the numbers and class list she was given, including OPs kids.  So the pretty hand drawn locker name tags, and the thought out desk setup to make sure that each desk set has the same boy/girl ratio, and the packets of intro paper with the kids names pre-printed, and the well organized school supplies...  it's all slightly off now.  Not a big deal. The teacher will quickly and easily adjust, I'm sure. But there was definitely time and money spent to get the classroom ready for OP's kids, that would have been better spent elsewhere.  So the teacher is now focusing on her actual students. As it should be.[/quote]
