Personally I like the option adopted by one particular educator (no names, no pack drill) where they created a PD to thank me for a report and now they just add the next report acknowledment to this thread - unless of course it’s a report ABOUT me where I would expect it to be a separate PD!
I prefer this because many of the messages I get are pretty meaningless to me as they just refer to my “recent report” and I can’t remember what I reported and why so unless they tell me what it was about or provide a link there is nothing really for me to say so they just go unanswered.
Not saying I want the full details but I do sometimes feel a bit guilty about not replying to a PD when the ED has also been a bit chatty and asking after my health or plans for the weekend but I don’t feel in the mood for a chat at that time.
Whereas if each report appears as just a new post in the one thread I can respond when it feels appropriate and can indulge in a chat every now and then without feeling I should be replying every time.
It also of course keeps my list of PDs shorter than it would have been.
So if any EDs are reading this then please note I am happy to receive all such messages via a single PD headed up “About your recent report” and then you can add as much information as you like in the actual wording.
