Schools sometimes send conflicting messages to parents. One day...they hold one hand up asking them to come in...and other times hold a hand up stopping them from entering. School communication isn't perfect, and parents aren't always perfect either. Every day a very diverse set of parents send their kids to school; some of whom want communication every day and others who could care less if they ever hear from the school at all.
The parents who want daily communication may feel as though they need to know they are staying on top of things and "doing things right." The parents who do not seem to want any communication at all may feel it's their job to parent and the school's job to educate...or they may feel insecure about communicating with the school system at all.
