| My DS has a terrible teacher at his middle school. She's out EACH class because she's "pumping" and a sub comes in to class. How is this allowed? Friend's kid also has same math teacher at a different time and she pumps then too. It's like he doesn't have a math teacher this year. She's a new teacher. How long will it take for MCPS to kick her out? |

Well, since you complained right here on DCUM, it should happen any moment now! |

I would hope that pumping is a protected activity. Also, some women do terribly with pumping and need to do it often, which is painful and laborious. I'm sure this teacher would rather be teaching than pumping, but she's doing it for her baby! The students are the collateral damage here, and I'm sorry they are in this situation. But I would never move against a teacher who needs to pump. If I were you, I would supplement at home. |

 I would want my kid out too and would be upset.

| If she can’t do her job then they should find another teacher and she should take medical leave. It’s not fair to her students. It’s been like this for two months. |

The terrible Math Teacher is a WOHM. She can screw up your kids is she wants because she is a working woman.
RIP to you, but I am different!! |

| Her child may have a disability and be in hospital or unable to tolerate formula. Or the admin who did the scheduling screwed up and didn’t give her a reasonable planning period when she could pump instead. |

| This is totally the schools fault for not setting her schedule so she has breaks for pumping. Complain so that the school is forced to do something. |

Okay, but when she is there, is she competent? DCUM likes to complain teachers waste time with extras. Maybe she is super efficient when she’s there and the sub is handling the frills and fluff. |

| According to my kid, she just hands worksheets out when she’s there. Virtually no teaching. |

Sounds like MCPS algebra. If she leaves your kid has a sub all year, it wouldn’t be better. |

So is this common? Teachers give worksheet but don’t actually teach math? We are in a W pyramid school. |
