I am on summer break. I don't check my emails during my vacation time. But I decided to clean out my work mailbox of all old emails that are cluttering it.
there was one with the words "Medical Emergency" typed into the header. It was from the mom of a student and I was concerned about my students well-being. I opened the email.
The email starts with " Now that I have your attention" and goes on a rant how her daughter doesn't deserve the "B" she got in English. How should I handle this?

What a lousy thing to have done to you. Where are people’s integrity these days? Wouldn’t it be fun to change it to a C though?! 😂😂
“Hi Mom, thank you so much for bringing this to my attention; actually, unfortunately, as I was reviewing your grade change request, I noticed that I neglected entering a few zeros. Your daughter actually earned a C instead”
If only…
Seriously though, as already mentioned, I’d set up an automatic email response and never give it a second thought. Whatever you do, don’t change that grade! Keep your integrity in tact, even if she doesn’t possess any. Don’t let her rent space in your head! She’s not worth it. Have an unbelievable summer- you deserve it!

I feel like a lot of parents do lousy things nowadays.

I’m going with the “out for the summer” mail response. If you haven’t set that up you can in all consciousness ignore it. You are not medical and that is not your concern or obligation. That was very mean and small minded of that parent. I’m a school nurse and I would have ignored it. The message received when a medical facility is called outside of operating hours states, “ if this is a medical emergency, hang up and call 911!!

I should have ignored it

Set up your automatic reply that you are out for the summer and will not be reading emails until the start of next school year. That’s what our principal told us to do!

Good idea!

“You’re right, she didn’t deserve a B. She earned a B-.”
