+1, that would be out of character for all of my kids as well and my response would include a request for the applicable code phrase (our family has a few depending on the situation) so that I would know whether there was cause for serious concern. No reply or an out of context reply would absolutely prompt me to either call/visit the school or have a sibling check in on the texter.

If the teacher made the whole class do it, why would he be in trouble? Your post makes no sense.


I think she's asking if you'd worry that you DS was in trouble if you received such a text. Like, she didn't like the assignment, because she got "I love you" (or whatever) during school hours and freaked out.


WHAT?! You're now making even less sense than before.

This is so confusing. Your child texts "I love you" to you. You think that means he's in trouble? And pp assumes it means he doesn't like an assignment? Am I still on the Earth?

My kid had to do it too. His teacher had them do it and then discussed the replies they got.

No. Usually her phone is off while she's at school. Sometimes they're allowed to use their phones if all their work in one class is finished.

No. Because he generally doesn't get in trouble.
