Haha...no.





What is the problem with emailing a teacher? As I see it, it's just like having a conversation with a teacher in a classroom. When was having a conversation with a teacher wrong?





Everyone is flesh and blood. Even a teacher. People need to get over their "taboo" crap. It's ridiculous.
Reply:In general, I would say no. I think that if a student is afraid to ask for help on a problem, thinking that asking for help is a sign of weakness, then that student should be able to ask anonymously. Or if a student needs to report that a friend of his/hers was cheating, or was planning a shooting rampage, or something along those lines, allowing students to email anonymously might encourage a good flow of information which could protect other students.





On the other hand, I would not think that students, either anonymously or with identification, should be able to email rude comments, threats, or things of that sort to the teacher. It is not the anonymity of the email that would be the problem, though, but the content.
Reply:It depends on what the student is emailing. If the student is emailing threats he/she could be expelled. Other than that there is no rule (unless your school has said NO to this practice.) If the teacher is emailing back to the student, they have to be careful because emails are hard to erase after they have been sent.
Reply:if it's bad, then yes, it should be against the rules, but since I know you and know you'd never do that then no it shouldn't.
Reply:I would tend to question any message or communication in which a person does not want to identify themselves.
Reply:For me, there is always something sus about a message that you do not want to own.
