[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of you that frequently email, before you do, pause and ask yourself: If this was 1990 and email didn’t exist, would whatever you want to email have warranted a phone call to the office and a message left for the teacher to return your call? If it doesn’t rise to that extent- don’t send the email.  There are conferences twice per year form checking in on things [/quote]
That's not the standard.  When I was a kid, there were a lot of things where my mom would have sent a note with me to school.  Those are all by email now.  So if my kid is getting picked up early for a dr appointment or is taking the bus instead of a car on Wednesday, I send an email.  That's how teachers have told us to communicate with them.  No call back needed.[/quote]

It should be.  The teacher doesn’t even need to know these things.  You show up for appt and office calls the kid down.  Your kid is taking a bus, so they get in the bus line.  Lots of kid alternate between bus and getting picked up, the teacher doesn’t need a email for every kid on every instance this happens.  Your kid can say, my mother is picking me up, I’m not taking bus today or vice versa if anyone asks, which they likely won’t. [/quote]
You're an idiot and disrespectful to teachers.  They've asked parents email this information so we follow their instructions.[/quote]
