Case: Phone Numbers
Is it appropriate for parents to have our personal cell phone numbers? Is there a cut off time when talking to parents when we are off work?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Giving away your personal cell phone number is up to the discretion of the teacher. There are many other messaging apps available that can be implemented in the classroom, aside from using emails. ClassDojo is a common one, as well as Remind 101. |

Comments: I think your idea is great and yest there are many apps now a days. But i think a case by case should be considered especially if parents don have a cell phone or its disconnected. Maybe a email address in those cases where they can still reach you direct and minimize giving your personal number. |

Comments: I agree. Depending on what materials you have available, finding an alternative to a phone number or e-mail should work perfectly.
It is worth noting that the parents may have a reason for asking for your phone number specifically. It could be a good reason, it could be a bad reason, but there's a reason. You should see if you can figure out what that reason is; that reason might give you another idea towards a solution. |

Comments: My son's teachers have used the Class Dojo app and I really like that as a form of communication. I guess it just depends on the situation. My son's virtual classes this year have all of his teacher's email and cell phone numbers. I know things are different because of the pandemic, but I would not give my cell to parents unless a very specific reason. |
