My belief is that this is not appropriate communication under any circumstances, with any living creature, or inanimate object for that matter.  I would tell the student that his/her future success academically, professionally and interpersonally is very much contingent on effective communication, and that you could refer him/her to resources that would help in that vein (books, on-campus services, your re-writing of the e-mail, anything.). Be supportive, concerned, heart felt -- but let the student know that continuing to communicate in that style would be detrimental to his/her future in every way.  You are worried -- not judgmental. ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael Klausner To: teachsoc@googlegroups.com Sent: Friday, May 19, 2006 12:14 PM Subject: TEACHSOC: An e-mail from a student... I received this e-mail from a student who was in my class last term. I replied that the horrendous punctuation, grammar, spelling was not appropriate when communicating with anyone except friends, perhaps.   Even then, it would not be appropriate. Should I have been “harder”, “easier” on him?   Comments welcome         you were right when u said u wanted to see me again ahaha.. i was wonderign when ur classes were for fall semester so i can see if i can retake ur class.. get back to me when you can                                          sincerly, --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Teaching Sociology" group.
