For me it's as much about his attitude toward the whole thing. He thinks it's kind of funny that he wakes me up. And he can't see the parallel between his fury over the possibility of a 1 AM call disturbing his family and my annoyance at weekly 7:15 PM calls.

I guess I should count myself lucky that this is the biggest thing I have to worry about right now.

Why can't there system support 2 calling lists? A "For Emergencies" for general distribution, and a "Routine Parental Update" that only goes to those who really need to know. It's not like you have a need-to-know about being reminded about early dismissal if you don't have a child in the school who needs to be picked up.
