[quote=Anonymous]Our child is in PK3 at an EOTP school that's becoming more and more popular. We're really happy with his main teacher and the school writ large, but the teacher aide in his classroom is chronically absent. She is gone at least 3-4 days a week; not necessarily full days all the time, but she is absent either at drop-off or pick-up most days of the week. I've raised the issue with the school administration and have been told that they are aware and are addressing the issue, but I simply don't feel confident in their ability to act quickly enough. 3/4 year olds need consistency, and the head teacher needs consistent support. There was a sub last Friday who was just horrible; probably the worst I've seen. And between the post winter-break challenges of routine, we're also dealing with never knowing who the additional teacher will be in our child's classroom.

I know other parents in the classroom have raised this concern as well, but is there more that we can do?
