[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what's the recourse against teachers that don't reply?[/quote]

You their job is to teach, not to email parents, right? This is why teachers are quitting in droves.[/quote]

The shortage is going to get so much worse after this year....parents and gatehouse keep burying their heads in the sand. It's not good I know two teachers who said they will be gone after winter break. I'm sure they are not the only two.[/quote]

They won’t be.

I spent 45 minutes after school today responding to emails. I then came home with about 3 hours of grading to do. I’ll spend 4 hours after work today simply catching up on today’s work.

I’ll repeat this tomorrow, and then whatever I can’t get done during 5 days of 10-12 hour days will get done this weekend.

OP, sometimes I can’t respond to all the emails I get. I have 150 students, and by the end of the day I may have 30 emails that need detailed, crafted responses. I also have to plan for my next day, grade papers, and visit the bathroom for the first time in 5 hours.

My intention is ALWAYS to do the right thing, but this job pulls me in too many directions simultaneously. Right now, it’s pulling me to the exit door. [/quote]

Please! Cry me a river. This teacher has been teaching through Youtube lessons which is the basis of the late work.[/quote]

Well, I don’t know what to tell you. I can’t imagine being this rude to people who sacrifice time with their own families for other people’s children.

Your rude behavior will simply drive more teachers from the profession. Then you’ll be stuck with even more YouTube and unanswered emails.

Try this instead: be KIND to the people working nonstop for your benefit. The teachers who are engaging, responsive, and prepared are only able to be that way because of sacrifice. [/quote]
