Is there a cut off time when talking to parents when we are off work? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) It is not required for you to give out you number however I have seen a lot of teachers do it just in the case of an emergency and unfortunately that is the easiest and quickest way to communicate nowadays. I would just set some ground rules to tell parents about when and where it is acceptable for them to reach you on your personal cell phone.
