| ZM,
I think the most effective reposonse to this teacher's email would come from your D. He clearly knows her well and likes her; this puts her in a position to be able to say, "when you sent that email, it made me feel like you devalued all the work I've done in your class, etc."
She'd be standing up for herself and all of those who *do* care about the class and the exam, and it points out to the teacher that his actions had (unintended) consequences.
As a parent, I'd be plenty steamed about his lack of professionalism, but it's your D who feels wronged -- let her own the feelings and response. I would suggest that she writes the email, saves it as a draft, and sends it -- tomorrow -- when she has cooled down. |
