[quote=Anonymous]I believe that one teacher in my kid’s grade (who covers 2 subjects) is currently interviewing for jobs and her homeroom teacher is not returning next year and also obviously interviewing. Her homeroom teacher has had subs at least 20 times since January, and the other teacher has had subs ~8 days in the last two months plus is apparently out all this week.

I only know this from what DD tells me, but she’s in 5th so it’s not like she’s unreliable or anything. They don’t do much on sub days except a lot of reading or catching up on math homework.

In the past, she’s had teachers who needed to deal with chronic health conditions and had semi-frequent absences that were announced in advanced to parents. It was really transparent and well-planned. Other leaves for FMLA have always been communicated by the school.

In this case, it feels like the school is just hoping we won’t notice that our child has not received instruction for a huge chunk of this semester.

Who do I even bring this up with? Is it normal? It feels really dismissive of our kids’ needs to have so many unstructured sub days, but I don’t know how to bring it up without sounding like a jerk.[/quote]
