Isn't there some way I can unsubscribe for them? I don't see anything in the UI for this.

This is a person subscribed by email.

How do I block them from following me?

If there is no way to block them I am tempted to trash this blog altogether which, for obvious reasons, I really would rather not do. But I am not comfortable with this follower and am concerned that it might even be a spam site. I am not prepared to look into their blog, however, to find out.

I do not wish to change my privacy settings as I have several other followers and don't see that I should change my settings and effect my other followers just to weed out one I don't want.

It would be handy to be able to block an unwanted follower, just as we're able to on Twitter.

Appreciate any help you can offer ...

Many thanks,

I don't understand why WordPress doesn't offer the possibility to delete subscribers..

Public blogs are "public" and any public blog that offers email and/or RSS Feed subscriptions offers them to all. Anyone can subscribe to an RSS Feed and use a feedreader to read posts and comments on any public blog. Any deleted email subscriber could simply subscribe again as we can all get a new email address and/or IP very easily.

You could also set up a Contact Form and the parents could then sign up by sending you and email from the form and then manage the subscriptions with an email account set up just for the subscribers using a list inside the email program.

You could put the list of parents email in a text document and paste the email addresses into the BCC section of your own email program. This would keep you from adding a ton of new people to your address book each year. I use a variation of this with a group I below to, we have an online members list and I copy the email addresses from the online list each time I need to send an email to all members.
