[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It'll be fine. The teacher will come visit with the baby. The new teacher will do fine, your son will do fine. Report cards mean nothing in first grade anyway. [/quote] As someone whose child has BTDT, I can speak from experience when I say it may NOT be fine. DD attended a very well-regarded ES and had a very well-regarded teacher. She went out for maternity leave in ;ate January and returned in early May. Those 3-4 months there was a long-term substitute who was, to put it mildly, awful. Didn't know how to control a classroom, had a very different personal style than the normal teacher. They had to bring in the 5th Grade math teacher to teach the math since the long-term sub was incapable. Yes, my very bright DD was "fine" at the end, but it wasn't a happy few months. We were very happy to see teacher back for the last 6 weeks of school.[/quote]
