[quote=Anonymous]Way to derail the thread, PP.

OP, first of all, I know it's frustrating when the teacher/child fit is good and coming to an end ahead of the expected end date (June).

However; this situation will work out fine, whether or not the sub is good or not, because it teaches the kids to be flexible with a variety of teaching styles.  It will also, as a PP said, happen over and over in your kid's academic career.

As a side note, my DD is in 8th grade and we went to her school's Back to School Morning last Saturday.  My kid loves history.  The History teacher was amazing--enthusiastic, knowdlegable, energenic, magnetic.  Her degree was in ancient Greek and Roman studies and that's what DH and I love--in fact I volunteer at a museum that specializes in ancient Greek and Roman antiquities.  I was dying to talk with this woman, and her last slide was about her transition next month out while the regular teacher came back from maternity leave and I was quietly like, "What? NOOOOOOOOO......"

But that's the way of things and ultimately I'm glad that the schools give the teachers enough time off etc so they can HAVE a life.  Makes for a happier, more well-rounded teacher.  And btw as your kid gets older you may notice that the mom and dad teachers are the ones who give less homework because they understand the difficulties the parents have juggling the homework and sports and making dinner etc.[/quote]
