BCC Teacher Missing

[Anonymous]

She called the school and said she would be out a few days using her own personal leave. So she’s not AWOL as far as mcps is concerned.

Hopefully she is ok.

Not helpful. Teachers are people and are allowed to have issues, feelings and problems like other people.

If she is not abusive to children there is no issue here. After what teachers had to live through with teaching cut them more slack than normal.

Thank you (from another teacher)!

Way to ruin a good DCUM rant!

I hope she's found safe soon.

Maybe we shouldn't guess about this kind of thing. It seems unfair to spread this kind of gossip without facts even though this is MCPS.

So disappointing! I was hoping for some conspiracy like another MCPS coverup.

Good, so let's give her privacy now.

Of course they are but no one is allowed to "go missing" unless their absence affects no one.

How do you know? The article did not include that information.

That’s what upsets you? That her students have a sub?

It’s dangerously cold outside. Her family doesn’t know where she is. She might have been abducted. She might be having a medical issue.

I wish you had learned compassion in school.

"Compassion" isn't in the curriculum. Every time the try to add something like it, DCUM gripes about it.

But her family doesn't know?

Sounds like a hook-up or affair type thing. Hopefully, not some online whacko.

Did you read the quotes before you posted? If she is having a mental illness issue, then she should not just disappear without informing anyone. Obviously if she was abducted or having a medical issue she would not be able to do this. It upsets me that people are worried about her and the police are involved IF she willingly left while 100% capable of leaving a note.

No. That would be disability discrimination. 1 in 5 people in the United States have mental illness, so that would really restrict the pool of teachers if we couldn’t hire anyone with a history of mental illness.

Plus what rotten example for kids, many of whom grapple with mental illness - hey kid, you’re depressed or anxious, let us show how little compassion and opportunity you will have in life if you admit that out loud.
