I'm sorry, but your post made me laugh!
Emails, web sites, teachers blogs, social networking, etc are in addition to occasional face-to-face meetings, IME. Many teachers are using new media to communicate with parents, and it all good, IMO, because there's usually not a problem with too much communication.
Oddly enough, I see my children's teacher's every week, usually several times a week, but still use other media to catch up on some activities. Why would I need to ask about a particular project in person when the details of the assignment are posted on the teacher's web page? I just watched a streaming video of my oldest's immigration debate on the school website, she was brilliant, of course ;-).
Some people prefer to use new media to communicate, others prefer more traditional means of phone calls and face-to-face. As long as both parties are satisfied with the results, who cares how its done?
i forget you're at the college level.
<<... I think that everyone has to explicitly establish a boundary somewhere, because otherwise some students/parents seem oblivious to them.>>
But there are many, many
The main reason I see email as more convenient is that the teacher (or whomever) can respond to it when they have time. This works well if it's not urgent. If it IS, then I can see a phone call being a better communication tool.
This is no different than the way things work in many other industries/fields, IME.

>> Second, if I had to be worried if the parents of my children's classmates were wasted or overtired while driving or chaperoning on a field trip, then it's pretty clear that I don't know them well enough, wouldn't you think? <<
And then you never know...I found out some stuff this weekend about a family whom I have known since ODS started kindergarten. :-(

I have the same question. Volunteering is important to me and I find ways to do it AND work.
