[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean “their teacher going on mat leave”[/quote]

I know!!  Couldn't she just drop the kid and keep teaching?  And then she might have appointments.   Why is she allowed to do that?  I mean, is there a union or something?[/quote]

Do you not know how to read? She was on mat leave for 4 months and just got back in Jan and ever since she has been back she is constantly absent at least two days every week. She was actually absent for one entire week in late Jan.  She is allowed to do whatever she needs for her child and my child is also allowed to get a proper education form a teacher who takes her job responsibilities seriously. [/quote]

How TF do you know what is going on with the teacher?  How DARE you accuse her of not taking her responsibilities seriously?!? It is not her fault that our community refuses to pay substitute teachers a decent wage.  It is not her fault we are in the middle of a global pandemic.  She could be spending 6 hours putting together detailed lesson plans that go entirely up in smoke when no sub shows up.  That is NOT HER FAULT.

If she was absent a week, she likely contracted COVID from one of the children in class.  Have you not heard there is a substitute shortage?  Perhaps if you took your responsibilities as a parent seriously you would be advocating for higher substitute pay and signing up to sub yourself in the meantime?[/quote]
