[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Middle school teachers here trying to settle a debate amongst friends in different school districts:

How much teacher-initiated email (or handouts sent home) communication do you want from your kids teachers, and how much do you actually get? Grade level would be helpful context but not necessary if you don’t want to give it.

My kids are rising 9th and 10th graders. I did not expect any communication from MS teachers apart from the syllabus at the beginning of the year. It was helpful to know what was covered in class.

I'm a generation X parent where there was very little sent home from my school system (apart from permission slips) in the 80s & early 90s. I rarely contacted the teacher/s. When I was in MS/HS, the teachers only contacted my parents if there was an issue.

I did contact an administrator once due to a teacher not teaching the subject.

I feel like teachers get too many emails about trivial things, and I didn't feel the need to add to it.[/quote]
