[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm sorry for your loss. Many people have horrible social skills and avoid people when they're uncomfortable with either the death or just saying no. It's no excuse, just an explanation.

How I proceed depends on the situation. Email teachers to have a record. Then you can forward it up the chain if they don't respond. If you say you can't seem to get a hold of Mr. X, then that leaves room for the supervisor to either have Mr. X respond or explain that he's out sick or whatever.

For coordinating with other parents, no response = not interested. Just move forward without them. If you need a ride for your kid, then their lack of response means they're not going to provide it. If you're trying to coordinate a group carpool, then just start a new thread with people who responded yes and say this is for the interested parents.

If you need input for work or something else, then put a deadline to provide input. Put it in email. If it's in a meeting then send a follow up email.

I'm sorry OP. Lots of people suck. Hugs to you and your kids.[/quote]
