[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, there are a lot of teachers in MCPS that really don't like their jobs.  [/quote]

I absolutely love my job. I'm just trying to say this as gently as possible: without question, parent emails are the lowest priority item in my day 95% of the time. Add to that the amount of energy required to be truthful, concise and tactful, and it is sometimes a time-sucking task. I know this may sound offensive, and for that I am sorry. But if you child's teacher isn't getting back to you ASAP it might mean they are busy or they may have forgotten (they don't sit at a desktop and check email all day). Other possibilities could be that your request doesn't even make it onto the radar in grand scheme of things of his/her tasks, or that you are somehow off-putting and it's hard for the teacher to shift gears from working with kids to trying to placate an adult.

All these teachers are going way off topic. The OP asked if anyone would respond on this snow break. A few started off saying it is their family time. It is a work/life balance, they aren't required to reply.  A few parents got annoyed. You will have been home the equivalent of another winter break, paid for and probably won't have to make up. If you can't respond to an email after you are off 10 days in a row, that is an issue. [/quote]
