[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know, sometimes I make grammatical errors as a teacher. Sometimes I see them but I’m in a hurry and I choose to ignore it. Sometimes my work is overwhelming and I let these little things slide but this is good to know, I will just take more time responding to parents, instead of getting back to them ASAP.[/quote] DCPS teacher here. This is weak. I know how much pressure we are under. Even so, don’t let it slide while still replying ASAP. You don’t need to hire a proofreader, but take a moment to fix your errors. We have a responsibility to set a good example and set the bar high for our students. We all make the occasional mistake, just try not to!![/quote] Nah, I have 48 hours to respond but usually I respond within 30 minutes. Now I will take a day. Also I teach PK, not upper elementary or on. Chill, you have no idea what pressure I am personally under or my life story. I generally don’t make mistakes in emails but in texts I sometimes do. If parents don’t like that email me and I won’t give you my personal number and answer your questions at 9pm. I’m the teacher who thought your approach was weak. May I ask how old you are? You are under no obligation to give out your phone number or answer parents at 9:00 pm. Answer at 8:00 am the next morning, when you are rested enough to do it without knowingly including errors. I’m sorry if you are under other pressures in your life. That would make teaching extra difficult. [/quote]
