I really do like answering these questions.Ann Luschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07284650895010763235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086336241074228426.post-53600455303974822502010-04-18T12:15:48.151-04:002010-04-18T12:15:48.151-04:00I think that as teachers we are a little insulated...I think that as teachers we are a little insulated from the outside world. Most professionals I know can't really throw an "at work"/ "off work" switch anymore. I expect the kids to keep learning while they are not at school, so I expect to keep teaching. However, I think it is completely reasonable to "unplug" at times during the day, weekends, vacations, etc.Detroit Sports Dorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06507758358144530420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086336241074228426.post-43615515189996983142010-04-18T10:41:28.377-04:002010-04-18T10:41:28.377-04:00I think isolating students from teachers in the af...I think isolating students from teachers in the afterschool hours makes no sense, especially for religion teachers. Post-high school your students will communicate with everyone through email and even phone: college professors, co-workers, supervisors, bosses. Why should high school be different. If students are thinking about your class outside of school - then encourage that! Also, as religion teachers, we need to develop relationships (with boundaries) outside of the classroom (on retreats, for example) to model our faith. <br /><br />I would only suggest setting boundaries or procedures with email at the beginning of the year (i.e. at certain times and only about certain topics). For example, an emailed paper during lunch hours from library computers may be a problem. <br /><br />Jared DeesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
