\t\t\t\t\"Blind<\/a>In what may trigger a policy change across all DPS schools, Nicole Bayer, who works in Administrative Support at High Tech Elementary, sent out a mass email, but chose to blind carbon copy (BCC) instead of carbon copy the recipients. \u201cI just thought it seemed like the right thing to do,\u201d said trailblazer Bayer. \u201cI mean, maybe some people don\u2019t want everyone seeing their email address, but more importantly, a lot of people think \u2018reply\u2019 and \u2018reply all\u2019 are the same thing. They are not. But, inevitably, people will click \u2018reply all\u2019 and then everyone will see tens and tens of questions and responses they weren\u2019t interested in.\u201d\nAlthough many recipients of the BCC email were taken aback, most appreciate innovator Bayer\u2019s intentions. \u201cAt first, I thought I was the only one receiving the email,\u201d said High Tech Elementary Parent Brian Morgan. \u201cBut, then I called my friend and found out they received it as well. We put two and two together and realized it was a BCC situation.\u201d Other Stapleton parents agreed. \u201cI thought it was really considerate,\u201d said Chad Sifers. \u201cNormally, I end up not reading the emails because by the time I get to it, there are 50 responses to sift through, so I just delete them.\u201d Some parents prefer the old approach. \u201cI like being able to see everyone on the email,\u201d said Becky Lembeck. \u201cPlus some people have the same questions, so I let them handle it instead of me being the one feeling silly asking what might be a dumb question.\u201d Resident Paul DeLay prefers the group email, but for different reasons. \u201cWhen you have people\u2019s email addresses, it makes Facebook stalking so much easier,\u201d said Lembeck. \u201cThere are all these hot moms, so now I can work on remembering their names, and in some cases, become Facebook friends with them, which is great.\u201d\nBayer says she plans to continue taking advantage of the BCC option. \u201cI used to work in an office,\u201d said Bayer. \u201cAnd I used it all the time when sending out mass communication. Sure some people like having their responses read by everyone, but my guess is that more people prefer the anonymity that the BCC option offers.\u201d It is unclear if Bayer\u2019s BCC technique will be carbon copied by the rest of the area schools. Until then, residents can expect to continue to receive long email strings with unnecessary commentary.]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
