teachers : why won't my teacher respond to my email over the summer?

I had an amazing teacher this past year, and I asked her for a college recommendation. She never got around to it, and it's 3 weeks into the summer. I emailed her about a week ago about it, but I didn't get a response yet. She is going to be leaving to be a principal at another school next year, so it's not like I can just ask her next year.

Questions:

1.How often do teachers check their work emails

2.when should I be expecting a reply

No stupid answers please, I'm looking for a real answer.

thanks(:

Update:

NOTE: I've had to email her a few times before during the school year and she responded the next morning, so I know she checks her email a lot during the school year.

    She's not being paid in the summer, and yet she has a lot of work to do to prepare for the next school year. Moreover, she probably has a new email address for her new job, and that's the one she's checking.

    If she didn't do the recommendation in time for your applications, then that's wrong. She agreed to do it, and she should have done it. But if your applications aren't due until next school year, then you should drop it for now and telephone her a couple of weeks into the next school year. Her new school will have phones.

    Have a great summer.

    Contrary to popular belief, some teachers actually go out of town and have a real vacation. She may not be able to use the school's email-although, I am switching schools and still have mine. If it is the same district, she should still have hers going. She may be in the middle of moving, paperwork and not even considering emails.

    Contact the school-most secretaries stay during the day for a few hours year round. Contact the other school, the same thing. They should know how to get in touch with her. You could simply tell them you emailed her and need a response.

    Also, if you drive, go to the school and leave a personal note. A lot of teachers teach summer school and are around or know where others are.

    If you have only waited a week, she may very well be on vacation or taking a class.

    Contact the school. Best advice.

  • My favorite teacher checks his email during the summer. I use readnotify.com to know if someone reads my email. Just go to readnotify.com and make a account. Then email the teacher again. After his email put .readnotify.com (ex: email.email.com.readnotify.com)

    If you get one at all, you'll get an answer when school starts up again. Probably from someone else telling you she's left and they have taken over her job.

    Thing is, since she no longer works for the school, she will no longer have access to school emails. Your best bet is to email the school office, explain what you are trying to do, include a copy of the email you're trying to send her, and ask if they can forward it to her.

    She probably doesn't check her work email over the summer. Look her up on white pages & call her or ask around & see if anyone has her personal email. Maybe she's on vacation or has been really busy with things over the summer.

    1. Teachers DO NOT check their emails over the summer.

    2. You should be expecting a reply when school starts up again. If not, definetly speak to her in person.

    Teachers are on break. They go on vacation. they are not at work. Some do not check their emails till the are back at school. IF she is leaving the school, she may not check her emails at all.

    teachers replies to EVERY email. No matter the season. Maybe you just annoy her. wait a week, and then, just call the school.

    She isn't at the school anymore. She will most likely not get it unless her emails travels with her.

    i will't furnish you a instructor's perspective, yet as a pupil i do no longer think of that's unusual as long as he's mushy with it. My family contributors's had a special courting with maximum of of our instructors, there's a working comedian tale that the elementary college interior reach will constantly have one in each and every of our family contributors contributors there because we began attending the 1st twelve months it grow to be open. a good number of the academics there have taught my siblings and are acquainted with all persons, meaning they often be attentive to of any significant activities occurring in our lives and vice versa. My youthful sister [she's seventeen] has saved up together with her 5th grade instructor for a whilst now and we've even had her over for lunch. we've the two volunteered on the college and saved tabs with our old instructors. In extreme college, I admit that for junior and senior years i grow to be much extra mushy chatting with my instructors than i grow to be my classmates. we ought to talk approximately virtually something. I did circulate to their lecture rooms and seek advice from them and help them out, and as long because it wasn't for the period of their lunch hours they did no longer concepts in any respect. I had to take a math type via myself [strange tale] and my math instructor presented to surrender his prep hour to teach me. those often grew to become out to be in basic terms us very honestly chatting approximately issues the style you talk on your instructor, and he grow to be rather super. My English instructor on the tip of the twelve months gave me her e mail address and contact variety so as that we ought to talk. i've got emailed her some circumstances, and he or she's spoke back very honestly, certainly no "why is my pupil emailing me?" vibe! [you have jogged my memory, i've got been which means to get in touch together with her returned. I observed her those days on the city and it grow to be super!] I recommend, as long as your mushy, and your instructor is, and that's friendly, then i do no longer see why it may be unusual. persons might think of it rather is, yet they do no longer count, proper?
