I need to communicate with my children's teacher's on a regular basis. They are a partner in my children's education.
< a parent might want to contact her is best reached IME in person or by phone.>
Why is email not as valid phone or in person? What's the downside to email communication for people who communicate well that way? I actually have a phobia against telephones - I hate them, I'll use them when I have to, but they are not my preferred method of communication.
Do you really have your teachers home phone numbers? If I have a concerns in the evening, I will compose an email and usually receive a response that same evening. I do have my ODS teacher on my IM list because she loves him and she knows he needs a kick in the pants sometimes to do his work. She gives me a heads up on some of his assignments. She instigates the chat, not me. She's also now a good friend, so not every IM chat has to do with the kids.
Many teachers love new media options to reach out to parents, but they will follow the leave of a concerned parent, IME. All parents have access to a high level of information about what goes on at school via the web, not just the ones who volunteer in the classroom.
Yes, there are any number of possibilities...I wonder of those who have a problem with parents driving on field trips also don't allow their children to ride in other people's cars at other times?

You can't honestly be debating that a teacher would prefer 20 phone calls
