Email

I have never thought of emailing students before. I see how it can be useful if a student has a question for subjects like science or history but math....I am not so sure. I think it would be difficult to talk about a math problem through email. I can see it being useful if a student did not have the assignment or lost the paper but I don't always remember the assignment or have a copy on hand to send. I make most of my worksheets but for worksheets that I get from other sources it would be hard. Maybe email is something I can try this year. Now I do use email for parents and it works well if parents have email. I found that last year only one parent wanted emails from me about up coming tests or other school relate information. I think there should not be a problem with emails as long as they are basic information being exchanged. I tell the parents that if they email me about their child's grade I say "see their blue grade sheet". It is away for the student to be responsible for keeping track of their grade.
