[quote=Anonymous]The reasons why the teacher is not responding is because you as the parent shouldn't be emailing the teacher about this issue. No way your parent ever sent in a note to the teacher saying,

"I want to make sure my daughter turned in the right assignment. Can you write me a note back telling me she turned in the correct assignment? I know you already spoke to her and she submitted it but I just really wanted to make sure."

Please call your parents and ask them. They are going to be completely puzzled why you would contact the teacher.

You wrote, "My student has emailed teacher twice about a missing assignment (2 weeks ago). Teacher didn't reply. Student talked to her in class and then submitted the work." 
Your student sees her teacher all the time. The teacher should not have to go out of his or her way to email a student back who is missing an assignment. The student should be staying after class, going before school, at lunch, etc. to inquire.

So your student finally understood this and went to speak to the teacher in person AND then submitted the work.

So the issue has been solved. Why do you think the teacher needs to use her valuable time to send you a special email?

Under the no good deed goes unpunished category is teachers responding to nonsense emails. Instead of quickly responding and then never hearing from the parent, teachers who respond to ridiculous emails like this are then bombarded with MORE emails from the parent.

The best tactic is now not to respond to emails that are just pestering teachers over something your child should be doing. So go ahead and CC the principal and superintendent. Do you really think there are qualified teachers lined up waiting to teach middle school?
