[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Different teacher, here.

I appreciate the parents who are trying their best, and I understand that they sometimes need help or clarity. I'll give it gladly.

What I am tired of (in general, but especially now) is the parents who don't act like grownups. [b]Stop emailing me at all hours of the day [/b][i][u]so that I can personally tell you something that's available in my previous messages, or on your child's paperwork, or right there for everyone on the school website. Guess what? I'm going to do exactly what YOU should have done, and find it in one of those places. Then I will provide that info to you, even though I am not your teacher or your mama.

Please stop wasting my time. Actually read what has been given to you, and do your part. If there is something that you CAN'T do yourself, I will be glad to assist.[/quote]

Huh?  Of course people email at all hours of the day.  That's the whole point of email.  I can send it when it's convenient for me, and you can respond when it's convenient for you.  I have no idea why a teacher would even be checking email at "all hours of the day"  I'm not going to apologize for sending an email at 10:30 at night, but I certainly have no expectation of a response until the enxt day.

And yeah....  I bet the info IS in your previous message OR on my child's paperowrk OR on the school website OR on the google classroom stream OR on the google classroom calendar OR on the zoom email OR in my kid's email.  That's the problem.[/quote]

+1. I will never understand when people complain about when others email them. I have a FT job, a DH who is a front line responder and 3 kids. I’m just a little bit busy. Sorry I emailed you at 1:30 am. It must have been so hard for you to read that message whenever you chose to. I sent it at 1:30 am because I’m getting 4 hours of sleep a night.

Also, I have 3 kids. All of the emails come to my inbox and many aren’t labeled by grade or student name, so apologies if sometimes passwords get lost or confused. It doesn’t help that the school has 5 different platforms for communicating/distance learning and some are different by grade level. Also, I once spent an hour trying to work it out myself and it turned out your email had a typo, so yeah, now I look for 10 minutes and then ask.[/quote]

It is hard to describe how confusing and hard it is to follow the various passwords for all the kids and all the classes. [/quote]
