“I know that I always have him repeat things that I tell him to do to make sure he hears me.”
Oh yeah.
I had my parents thinking I was completely deaf from ages 12 to about 23.

Seriously though, it’s a lot to ask of the school to make a routine annoucement in several different forms. A note home to parents that the lab would be closed after school?? Not going to happen.

The schools in Dallas would send home announcements IN EVERY LANGUAGE spoken by students in that school—a one page announcement was literally 1/2 inch thick!! I can’t even imagine the paper budget and wasted time that went into such things, with so many announcements to be made. Crazy.
My daughter’s school has a daily work folder for teacher/parent communications, and a weekly school folder with a school ‘newspaper’ announcing various activities, etc. that the parents should know about. Seems to work pretty well.
There's more to being a teacher than not caring.
