[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are some examples of mundane nonsense?[/quote]
1. Telling me your theories about school reopening 
2. Trash talking my co-workers 
3. Asking me my theories  about school in the fall
4. Telling me how hard it is to parent & work right now. Because no one else, including me has kids
5. Telling me your family therapist told you to stop with distance learning- but you don’t take the advice 
6. Telling me about your marriage issues. 
7. Asking me if I’ll wear a face mask in the fall
8. Demanding to go in the building to get Larlas coat
9. Loosing the zoom link 
10. Thinking you are ‘teacher’ because you read a book to your kid

New poster, but here are some more.

11. Requesting a zoom meeting with a teacher when you can just send an email.
12. Asking for me to send you your own email with everything your kid needs to do, even though it’s all in the google classroom.
13. CC’ing the principal unnecessarily on an initial email asking about why your kid got a certain grade.
14. Sending a novel of an email talking about your concerns.
15. Joining your child’s zoom lessons and wanting to talk when I have a lesson to do.

16. Emailing me requesting that I grade all of the assignments you’ve completed (oh sorry I mean your elementary school aged child)-at 1 am 
17. Emailing me asking how you can be sure that I know “as soon as” you complete an assignment (there are no due dates) 
18. Writing announcements every single day stating that your child is present instead of commenting on the thread specifically designated for that purpose because your child is SPECIAL 
19. Posting your child’s completed assignments as announcements for everyone to see instead of just clicking submit 
20. Showing up at the very end of a scheduled live lesson and then asking if I can teach it again 
21. Showing up in the middle of a lesson and interrupting when all the other students are muted [/quote]

From a fellow teacher - please work on establishing and enforcing boundaries. A lot of these things are avoidable,[/quote]
Which of these things are avoidable and how would you avoid them? [/quote]

First of all. The more public education falls, the more complaints and emails you will get from parents.  Be glad they are emailing you. They are invested. Worry about the ones who don’t email you.

Some of these items are ridiculous and some are completely understandable.  [/quote]
