I send e-mail progress reports home to the parents of my students each Friday as a way of trying to improve school-home communication. The report lists every assignment, every due date, every grade, every zero a student earned - everything a parent might need to know. Everything is clearly labeled on that report! I don't mind if parents e-mail back a legitimate question - that's part of the point. But it drives me crazy when they e-mail back the entire report and ask "What is my son/daughter missing?" Hello!!! Did you even read the report?


You can find my stories as Groobie on the nfic archives and Susan Young on the gfic archives. In other words, you know me as Groobie. wink
