How to email a teacher.
Rule
#1: Be
polite. Write the email as if you were writing to someone you respect a lot.
Try and look like you actually care about what you are writing to them about. Try
and be presentable with you email.
You don’t want your email to look
like this…
You kind of want it to look like this…
Rule
#2: Do
not write it with the words: lol, u, 2, YOLO, or any words that you
may send to a friend via text message. You don’t want your teacher to think
that you don’t care about whatever you decided to email them about.
Rule
#3: Make
sure you send the email to the right teacher and not your parents or another
teacher. That can be embarrassing.
Rule
#4:
Keep it short. You don’t want to have a long drawn out email that gets to the
point in the middle of the email. You want to be straight up and get to the
point. For example, “Hello Mr. doctor professor Beardo the magnificent, I was
just wondering when the essay was due? Thanks your name.” you are asking a
question. Not writing an essay.
Rule
#5: Do
not bombard them with emails that ask the same question. Teachers a busy and
just because they don’t email you back, does not mean that the world is going
to end. Teachers have lives outside of being a teacher (Some of these lives are
actually kind of interesting.) Let them have their lives. Don’t email them when
you already know what you have to do. That’s what classmates are for.
Rule
#6: DO NOT EMAIL
THEM DURING THE BREAKS!
Rule
#7: When
emailing them homework, just send the homework. Don’t try and make a funny joke
in the email because if you do then you may get a visit from the bad joke fairy.
Trust me she is not very nice.
Rule #8: End the email with your name.
