[quote=Anonymous]I email them regularly, as I feel like it’s less of an intrusion than asking for a call or a meeting (which I have also done , outside of conferences).

One of the main reasons we switched from public to private school was because in public school communication with the teacher seems to be discouraged, other than the once/twice per year parent teacher conferences.

My kids spend hours (this is elementary school) with their teachers every day. If o have questions or concerns about their education that my child can’t answer, I want to be able to get additional information. Parents shouldn’t have to feel bad about that. My kids classes are about 10-12 kids per teacher, so this feels like it’s a reasonable ask for a teacher to respond to email.

Even at our local public elementary school, class sizes are around 28 kids - I can’t imagine all of the parents are emailing the teachers, so it doesn’t seem unreasonable for teachers to be asked to respond to emails from parents. Middle school is very different, as teachers have many more kids they teach. [/quote]
