Mobile calls from school

[Honeypig]

I’m after people’s opinion on the use of mobile phones in school as i can’t find a specific answer and can’t decide if I am being over sensitive.

My child’s school has a zero policy on the use of mobiles and say if there is an emergency then we ring school. I get this and fully support this.

However, instead of ringing me from the schools number, a teacher told my child during the day to ring me from her own mobile (i.e my child to ring me from her phone not the teachers). It was not an emergency call just something to do with parents evening. I was working at the time and had to excuse myself thinking something bad had happened as for anything else such as an appointment i would have expected school to call.

I really think this is wrong and that the teacher should have rung from the school line. Am I being over sensitive?

The issue is that the teacher didn't ask to send a text. Seriously what was so urgent that warranted a call? Who calls anyone these days unless it's urgent?

So child tells teacher they don't know if mum has booked an appointment, teacher doesn't have their schedule, child wants to know, teacher rings child.
Don't see what the issue was

Rings parent obviously!

You are making a fuss about nothing.

@Honeypig the teacher was in the wrong, so if you want them to get into trouble for it email the school. If not, just tell your daughter not to do it again. Job done.
