[blparent] 5th grade teacher

[Tammy, Paul and Colyn]

Hi,

I don't see what the student coppying notes has anything to do with 
anything.  You're asking for emailed notes as an adjunct not instead of Gab 
doing the assigned work.  It's fine to ask that the student copy down notes, 
but if they don't you might miss knowing something you needed to know, and 
that's not acceptable.  I think some education is an order here, and if that 
doesn't work, you will probably need to go higher up like a principal to 
have your needs met.  I've always asked that the teachers email me with 
notes, or call me and read them to me if there was no email access, and I've 
never had a teacher tell me no for any reason.
