    Question: How involved are you or are you WILLING to be, in your
    students' lives?

    I have been subbing the last couple of weeks at various schools around
    my county. Today's classes were a hoot - the regular teacher's idea and
    MY idea of what constitutes "Basic Math" are TOTALLY different. (He
    thinks Algebra II and Geometry are basic math. Not.) Anyway.....among
    the stuff he left me was a syllabus for the classes which included his
    personal email and phone number at home. Now I admit that high school
    was awhile ago, but home telephone numbers were NOT given to students
    back then - we were lucky if we knew the teacher's first name - and
    email hadn't been invented yet. I remember being shocked when I got to
    college and the professors gave us their home numbers.

    Is this common practice, or is this one teacher an anomaly?
