EducationParent Communication & Student Safety3MediumTeacher$ explicit

A teacher's emails from a parent were blocked as spam due to the parent sending MLM marketing emails from the same address, causing missed communication about a student.

Existing parent contact app is 'shitty' and not used, so parents resort to email, which lacks filtering to distinguish marketing emails from student-related emails.
