I think we generally need much stronger rules about when parents can contact teachers and what expectations there are about response times. You shouldn't need to spend every waking minute of your day on-call for a job that pays ~$60k/year. This kind of stuff is the norm now and people wonder why no one wants to go into the teaching profession anymore.
