Ohhh so wrong, PP. The taecher should not set a precedent. The teacher acted appropriately. Kids don't get rewarded for what they are *supposed* to do.

I am a teacher.  My email  signature line includes something to the effect of "I read and answer emails during my  working hours (__am until __pm)  when I am not teaching class or otherwise committed."

Oh please.  You are not getting inundated with emails from 8th graders wanting assignment clarifications.  [b]He emailed teacher his question several days before assignment was due, allowing plenty of time for her to respond during business hours.[/b]  Which she did take the time to respond, just with snark, instead of anything helpful.  OP, she is a crap teacher and the year is almost over. Yea!

He emailed her on Friday afternoon. Saturday and Sunday are non business days, and Monday was a holiday. Teachers are told to return all emails within 2 business days, which technically would have been by Wednesday afternoon.

So no.

But regardless, the student is owed nothing. No matter if the teacher received 1 or 100 emails asking about missing work, for an unexcused absence, "I'm sorry, I cannot help you" is an appropriate response. It sucks that parents' decision has consequences for the kid, but better to learn this now when grades don't really count for much.[/quote]
