Maybe our resident teachers will comment, but covid changed everything here.
Kids, that want to, have had near constant contact with their teachers through their school apps and iPads here ever since. If a kid messages a teacher while doing homework many of them expect a response, and get it, within the hour. For many, remote learning simply broke a barrier that is very difficult to put back up unless teachers or the school board put up a strict no contact outside of hours policy.
Our local school board is having discussions about this now in preparation for dialing it back another notch for next year. On top of the obvious issues it can lead to, teachers shouldn't be expected to answer questions all evening and kids shouldn't be expecting them to either.
