[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

You're so right OP.  Teachers with serious health problems or who have babies with health problems should be fired if they have to miss work too much.  I'm sure there is no law against that.  Darn these unions!  [/quote]

At some point they should take a leave of absence if they cannot do their job.  And, I say this as someone  who quit their job due to health issues.   We have had two teachers out extended periods of time and it  was  really bad with multiple subs.  Luckily it was in elementary school where we could supplement.  [/quote]

Got news for you - they can take a leave of absence and there will still be subs in the classroom.  Principals cannot hire full time for positions where the teacher has not formally resigned.  There are actually rules against it.  I think they are from the state, not the county, and related to ADA, although I never understood it exactly.[/quote]
