[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow!  I'm a teacher on maternity leave until November. This type of stuff makes me feel great!  I have every right to have a baby whenever I see fit. Sorry she wasn't able to time her pregnancy for the summer. [/quote]

Is it even possible for everyone to time their pregnancies like clockwork?  I know so many people who had issues with infertility or took 6 months to a year to get pregnant for whatever reason.  I work in academia and people like to talk about timing babies for the summer all the time. Not everything with everyone's body follows a perfect plan so that it is most convenient to others.[/quote]

Exactly. I'm a teacher and as hard as I tried to be due last March (6 months off), I hadn't planned on infertility. Now I'm due in April (which is still pretty good timing) and I plan to take my full 16 weeks, which will goes into the beginning of the next school year. I don't feel bad at all that it might be inconvenient for some because it's what's best for my family. I agree with the other poster that DC should address the issue of substitute quality, but folks should also realize their children will not be ruined forever if a teacher is out for 4 months.
