I drew some hard lines in the sand a long time ago. No, I won't respond to emails or make phone calls after hours. I stayed for meetings that ran over, as I packed my stuff and made it visibly clear it was time to end it. I have never coached. I chaperoned one dance. In many ways teachers have taught parents how to treat them by what they are willing to put up with. If a teacher puts other people's kids ahead of their own, that is a sad state of affairs.
