[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Paternity leave is a feminist issue. Let’s support that as much as possible. OP, in sixth grade your student had a teacher that was different than expected. That’s not the same as the teacher leaving in a disruptive way while the school year is underway. The next year, it sounds like the teacher left shortly after the school year began, so again that isn’t terribly disruptive. [/quote] I believe OP is personally being affected by the teacher shortage, which is going to happen to more people as the shortage worsens. My own kid lost 2 middle school teachers in the middle of the year last year. Yes, it was disruptive to her education. But as a teacher myself, I understood. We get a finite time on this planet, and nobody should be miserable. I wouldn’t want a teacher to sacrifice his/her own happiness and health for what is ultimately just a job like any other. [/quote]
