The debate's been about overly-concerned parents allegedly demanding too much time from teachers to discuss their child's concerns.


It sounds like your childrens' school had plenty of students before school.

Yes, we are and will hopefully still be a dual-WOHP family. If I need to contact the teacher, I'll send an email and she'll email back when she can. If we need to talk, we'll arrange a time to do so. If we need to meet beyond parent-teacher nights, we'll arrange a time to do so. I don't see the issue.

Do teacher's have retainer agreements with the parents of their students?

I'm missing the relevance of your analogy. The teacher's day is contractual. I have never met a teacher who only works during that defined school day, but it is their prerogative to choose the hours they work outside of the school day.

I did not have a computer nor a personal desk phone when I had children in school. I now have a computer but do not check my e-mail on it and still do not have a phone. (actually I may have had a computer the last couple of years Dd3 was in high school, not sure of the timing on when I got it).

The perk of e-mail is it does not require both participants to participate at the same time. I e-mailed teachers when it it was convenient for me and the teachers e-mailed me when it was convenient for them. I consider that to be a much easier form of communication then playing phone tag.

I have to laugh at the hypocrisy of those parents (NOT you)

I haven't read any of PKA's posts, but you just wrote above that you recently found out disturbing info about a family you've know since your oldest was in kindergarten.
