[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really? 34 days left and she quits.

The email says they are looking for a permanent sub but they have been difficult to find.

So basically for the next month+ he'll just have a revolving door of subs it sounds like.

My favorite part of the email was actually for us to prepare the kids that their classroom will look different on Monday morning. I'm assuming because she took a bunch of decorations and furniture with her that she'd purchased.

He's so bummed and I'm bummed for him. [/quote]

Yes, really. I’m a teacher with a decade of experience and would like to quit as well. This year has been awful. [/quote]

Yeah, me too.  [/quote]

I am a consultant. I work for one company but the work I do benefits my clients. I am getting ready to quit my job, but I am giving my employer two weeks notice and my clients the courtesy of finishing out the projects I am currently working on (or in one case, transitioning it to another consultant) before I leave. I don't blame teachers for quitting, it's been a really awful two years, but it would be nice if the ones quitting a month before school ends could give their employer/clients the same courtesy.[/quote]

There are so many assumptions in this post it’s crazy. Maybe they were fired, maybe there are gravely ill…no one on here knows![/quote]

Exactly. Maybe the teacher did give notice to the school and it didn’t make it to the parents.

It doesn’t even matter. Teachers are allowed to quit. They don’t have to martyr themselves for other people’s children. They have their own needs and it’s 100% acceptable for teachers to focus on those first. It’s time to start respecting teachers and the choices they have to make.[/quote]

If you want to be treated like a professional and be respected like a professional, then act like one. Your little rant up here is NOT professional. I have needs too, but I'm not quitting on the spot.[/quote]

Professionalism is not defined by how long to stay at a job that you need to (or want to) leave.[/quote]

"Although a two weeks’ notice is the accepted standard when leaving a job, be sensitive about the timing of your transition. Could you stay longer to assist in training your replacement? Will you leave the company in a bind? You can also help your employer with the transition in such ways as creating a folder with your most up to date documents and a list of upcoming deadlines and projects."

“Although it’s not always practical, try to give two weeks’ notice for a professional job and one month for a leadership role,” says Michele Gorman, managing director of Leveraged Potential Consulting. This allows the organization time to plan for your departure and avoids any negative feelings of abandonment or animosity towards you upon your exit.

If you’re in the middle of a major project, consider staying until its completion to avoid a disruption. Also consider whether you could stay a little longer to assist in training your replacement, or if you can’t, think about what you could do to help your employer with the transition, such as creating a folder containing current projects, a list of upcoming deadlines, key contacts, and materials to get your replacement up to speed faster.

"McCaskill recommends giving notice at least two weeks’ notice before your departure. “It not only helps your current employer make plans to fill the role, but it also gives you and your team some runway to really transition and offload your work,” he explains."

ETCETERA

And then teaching specific links (both of these also say at least two weeks, so it's not like it's a "everyone except teachers" thing):
