When calling the homework hotline, you may select to leave voice mail for school personnel. This way the teacher can hear your concerns first hand and in your own voice. Your message can be conveyed with more detail, description, and conviction than a short memo. Voice mail also allows working parents the convenience of leaving messages for school personnel after school hours. The voice mail componenet of the homework hotline has not been implemented because of teacher concerns.
Teachers believe that voice mail maybe an invitation for prank and inappropriate messages.
Give your school adminstrators and teachers an opinion on teacher voice mail. One remaining Homework Hotline feature is the automatic call-back function. This function allows the school to call a list of student phone numbers and play a prerecorded message. For instance, let's suppose a Saturday wrestling match were canceled due to inclement weather. The coach could initiate an automatic call-back to all his wrestlers.
