Teachers being in class is always variable. It has been rare for DS to have subs during this week over the 9 years he has been in school but that could be an anomaly. The data shows that this is a week where there are lots of subs and lots of absences. Do your thing, just don’t expect that the teachers are required to get your kid caught up. I think most make an effort to get missed work to kids but they don’t have to.

I remember being in school in the 80’s and asking friends to let me know what the assignments were and to give me copy of notes when I missed school for some reason. The teacher wasn’t providing that info, I called and asked a friend. I am not sure why things would be different today.

Parents should write the board and request the number of subs this week. They should send it to the principal as well as gatehouse to discourage further rude and badly received communication.

For what, exactly? Do you want the schools to be closed all of December? Then another group of parents would be upset. Teachers are professionals that are allowed to take vacation days off also.

Yes, teachers can take vacations, and so can parents. If a principal is going to say “our teachers will be teaching” he should have more respect for the parent body that to lie.

Yup. They are most definitely not teaching right up until break. They are administering tests or bs group projects to kill time or have subs. lol.

My entire grade-level subject area is giving a short quiz AND teaching an entire lesson tomorrow/Friday.

My son will be absent from 2nd period on Friday because he has a cardiologist appointment, so he spoke with his teacher about what he will be missing in his class. He is missing a quiz, notes on a new concept, and classwork related to that new concept, during which his teacher always pulls small groups for reteaching. That sounds like teaching is occurring.

As a secondary school teacher, I can 100% guarantee you that no secondary teacher is "killing time." There is no flexibility in the curriculum that would allow for "killing time." We can barely get through our curriculum as it is.

But some of you can have your classes taught by a sub all week so clearly the time pressure is not acute on all of you. Again, I don’t see anything wrong with this. But a principal shouldn’t be saying Teachers will be in the classroom when they will not.

As a teacher, I can assure you that there’s not more than one teacher out in the whole school for the entire week. I don’t even think there’s one teacher out for the entire week.

And yet there are parents on this thread with more than one.

There’s nothing wrong with teachers being out, but its quite a look to send a scolding email to parents when the people who work for you were on a plane last Friday.

It's an anonymous forum. they could be lying.....

There’s email wasn’t “scolding” and teachers didn’t send it. Move on. If you want to take a vacation, take a vacation. Nobody cares about this as much as you do.

You’re right, the teachers didn’t send it, but it makes commitments on their behalf.

And since you’re on page 37 it seems like you really care.

I call out nonsense where I see it. You've spent 37 pages whining about teachers because a principal sent a letter stated that attendance is important.

Write an angry letter to the principal and call out all those horrible teachers for taking their leave. Come back and let us know what response you get.

I think you’re mixing up posters. I’ve been clear this whole thread I think teachers should take their vacation and everyone else should too.

One of my teacher friends has been out all week because she's in the hospital, in the critical care unit. Yes, her classes are being taught by a sub all week. Her sub is a retired teacher who used to be her department chairperson, so her sub is fully qualified to teach her classes. I'm so sorry if her principal "lied" and said she'd be in the classroom when she's not. How incredibly inconsiderate it is of her to have a serious, potentially life-threatening medical issue the week before winter break!

I've been teaching for 30 years and have only had a sub a handful of times who is not either a retired teacher or a retired professional from the field in which I teach. I feel confident that my subs have been able to handle instruction when I have been required to be out. I average 4-5 days out per year, though there have been years in which I've missed zero days, and years in which I've missed more than 25 days (such as when I had to have surgery, followed by two different serious illnesses over the course of the school year). In case you're wondering, though, I AM planning to be in my classroom all of this week.

Not all teachers who are out this week are on vacation. Just like everyone else, we experience deaths in our families, illness, injuries, emergencies, and other life events that are not always under our control. The time constraint/pressure IS acute /critical for us, so we get stressed when we have to be out. Unfortunately, our family members don't plan their deaths around school holidays, viruses don't wait for weekends to hit us, and surgeons don't care about making surgical arrangements convenient for our school schedules. We are doing the best we can. It would be nice if every family could show a little more empathy and support instead of jumping to the conclusion that we are out partying when we are absent.

Nobody said that. We are talking about teachers who are out for vacation this week because of the email a principal sent scolding families for leaving early on vacation. In lots of cases this week, the teacher actually announces they will be out due to vacation. Each of my children have one teacher out now. It was pre arranged.

I know of ONE teacher who left early to visit family. I’d hardly call her situation a “vacation.” And I know many teachers.

I’d love to know which school has “plenty” of teachers on vacation. Can a poster here name just ONE school with “plenty” of teachers on vacation?

I know this is DCUM and we love sensationalism. But, just for once, let’s be realistic. Who has real proof of “plenty” of teachers from one school on vacation?

It doesn’t matter what you’d call it. She left early to visit family and that’s what some kids have to do too if their family is overseas. Hey admin: stop calling out some families for leaving early when some of your employees do it too.

There’s email wasn’t “scolding” and teachers didn’t send it. Move on. If you want to take a vacation, take a vacation. Nobody cares about this as much as you do.

You’re right, the teachers didn’t send it, but it makes commitments on their behalf.

And since you’re on page 37 it seems like you really care.

I call out nonsense where I see it. You've spent 37 pages whining about teachers because a principal sent a letter stated that attendance is important.

Write an angry letter to the principal and call out all those horrible teachers for taking their leave. Come back and let us know what response you get.

I think you’re mixing up posters. I’ve been clear this whole thread I think teachers should take their vacation and everyone else should too.

+1 the principal shouldn’t be calling out families for going on vacation…when they have plenty of teachers out…on vacation.

But do they? Really?

I know of ONE teacher who left early to visit family. I’d hardly call her situation a “vacation.” And I know many teachers.

I’d love to know which school has “plenty” of teachers on vacation. Can a poster here name just ONE school with “plenty” of teachers on vacation?

I know this is DCUM and we love sensationalism. But, just for once, let’s be realistic. Who has real proof of “plenty” of teachers from one school on vacation?

This is knowable data without doxxing teachers. Just look at the sub lists for multiple days that started monday/tuesday of this week. Those are the vacations vs. sick.

Teachers being in class is always variable. It has been rare for DS to have subs during this week over the 9 years he has been in school but that could be an anomaly. The data shows that this is a week where there are lots of subs and lots of absences. Do your thing, just don’t expect that the teachers are required to get your kid caught up. I think most make an effort to get missed work to kids but they don’t have to.

I remember being in school in the 80’s and asking friends to let me know what the assignments were and to give me copy of notes when I missed school for some reason. The teacher wasn’t providing that info, I called and asked a friend. I am not sure why things would be different today.

Parents should write the board and request the number of subs this week. They should send it to the principal as well as gatehouse to discourage further rude and badly received communication.

For what, exactly? Do you want the schools to be closed all of December? Then another group of parents would be upset. Teachers are professionals that are allowed to take vacation days off also.

Yes, teachers can take vacations, and so can parents. If a principal is going to say “our teachers will be teaching” he should have more respect for the parent body that to lie.

Yup. They are most definitely not teaching right up until break. They are administering tests or bs group projects to kill time or have subs. lol.

My entire grade-level subject area is giving a short quiz AND teaching an entire lesson tomorrow/Friday.

My son will be absent from 2nd period on Friday because he has a cardiologist appointment, so he spoke with his teacher about what he will be missing in his class. He is missing a quiz, notes on a new concept, and classwork related to that new concept, during which his teacher always pulls small groups for reteaching. That sounds like teaching is occurring.

As a secondary school teacher, I can 100% guarantee you that no secondary teacher is "killing time." There is no flexibility in the curriculum that would allow for "killing time." We can barely get through our curriculum as it is.

But some of you can have your classes taught by a sub all week so clearly the time pressure is not acute on all of you. Again, I don’t see anything wrong with this. But a principal shouldn’t be saying Teachers will be in the classroom when they will not.

As a teacher, I can assure you that there’s not more than one teacher out in the whole school for the entire week. I don’t even think there’s one teacher out for the entire week.

And yet there are parents on this thread with more than one.

It doesn’t matter what you’d call it. She left early to visit family and that’s what some kids have to do too if their family is overseas. Hey admin: stop calling out some families for leaving early when some of your employees do it too.

Did teachers leave early at the school where that email was sent?

The PP doesn’t care. This is complaining just to complain.

Not necessarily. My coworker was sick Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Her students thought she was on vacation, but that's because it's not anyone's place to share why someone is out. She's free to share it when she returns.

Does that apply to everyone or just teachers?

Because their principal sent an email saying they’d be in the classroom. You’ll have to ask the principal why he didn’t limit his statement to students.

Its a dumb email, disrespectful of parents and lying on behalf of teachers.
