Why are teachers allowing students to call parents for non-emergencies?!
DD is in 7th grade & in orchestra. Her orchestra class is 1st period. I take her to school on my way to work. She has to be there by 7:25am & I get to work within 10 mins of dropping her off. She has called me 2 times from the orchestra room over nonsense things. The latest was yesterday. She calls to tell me she has paperwork that needs to be filled out. I asked why she was calling & she says the teacher let her. I asked if the forms could wait until we get home & she had to put the phone down to ask the teacher who said yes. I was upset because it wasn't an emergency! She should have been teaching the class not allow students to make phone calls! I told my DD last night the next time she calls for something that is not an emergency I am going to have to give an earful to the teacher!
This post made me sad for your child. Why wouldn't you want a call from them? Your apart all day, I would love it if they just called for a quick "hi". How would you feel if you knew someone didn't want you to call them? Or only call for an emergency? I highly doubt a two minute phone call will effect her learning. I'm never too busy to take a phone call from my babies.
