[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]It’s quite possible that this teacher has a medical issue or that she is a caretaker for someone with a medical issue[/b]. Different people handle stress in different ways. In some cases, the stress of an outside-of-work challenge contributes to a person quitting. In others, the person likes the distraction of work and the stable income. There’s just no way to know if you’ll lose this teacher or not.[/quote]

This.  The teachers we've had had these types of issues.  One teacher had early detection of a very treatable version of cancer.  She was out periodically for treatment and when the treatment made her weak enough she couldn't go a whole day.  Another was pregnant and had doctor's checkups before she went on maternity leave.  Another had a child who had a medical issue and they were traveling to a lot of specialists to get an appropriate diagnosis and treatment plan.  None of these teachers left/quit.  All of them had sporadic leave and all of them eventually returned to full time teaching after their lives settled.[/quote]
