I always feel really sorry for Mums, they’re often priority 1 on school ‘phone’ lists and must get all the phone calls, good and bad. They work too, they’re out the door early in the morning too but we tend to call them first. As long as it’s okay, ring a dad sometimes.
@TeacherBusy What a ridiculous post. Parents/ carers choose who to put as primary contact. It is not for school staff to arbitrarily decide " I know I will call the [insert random contact]"
@Si_att @TeacherBusy It’s not ridiculous at all. It’s really valid. Work with schools on father inclusive practice shows things like contact forms with only one field, poor understanding of safeguarding making staff reluctant to call dad, gender bias that assumes dad more likely to at work etc.
@nickyjanehill @TeacherBusy Poor management of forms is another issue. The school office should call in order of the priorities given by the parent/Carer.
