Yet another teacher has left BASIS and parents are in the dark

[Anonymous]

My child came home today and said one of his teacher had left the school a week ago.
Yet nothing was reported to us.
What is going on ???
Why is everything a big secret?

Because super high teacher turnover is a fact of life in charters. You should get used to it. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/30/opinion/the-high-turnover-at-charter-schools.html?_r=0

Another teacher?

[Anonymous]

Which teacher?

It's not their ONE teacher -- why are you so worked up?

[Anonymous]

Left because of a health issue, I believe.

Teachers come and go. Kids need to adjust. Notifying you would have been nice but life goes on.

when it's a health issue, regardless of workplace, you are always in the dark

[Anonymous]

If its a personal issue, you would not be in the know.
Also, when you have the 'go go go' charters- they burn people out.

Get used to it.

Pre-existing health condition with complications, had nothing to do with "go go go" charters or burnout.

Interesting... Apparently BASIS parents have not been pushed into a vow of silence as another BASIS parent claimed on another thread. I hope this gets resolved and you get your answers.

And I hope that teacher is ok.

Right. Charters do not burn out teachers at a fast rate. What was I thinking???

No, this teacher did not have any health issues.
It's a different one.
