[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. Those teachers left last year. We are leaving after this year. 4th grade has been a disaster. The lower grades were amazing. Third was OK last year even though we weren’t back most of the year. This year one teacher never came back from leave. One teacher is out for huge chunks (unfortunately a family thing) and there’s not been communication or a consistent sub. The principal has taught the class too. Lots of behavioral issues. One kid moved out to another school. Multiple kids switching home rooms to try to solve behavioral issues. If you have Janney spots, go for it. And if you don’t like it, move back to Hearst. The lower grades there were fantastic. I’d want to know what the plan is for this situation not to happen again next year. So, will there be consistent 4th grade teachers? And how will this class be handled in the 5th grade? [/quote]

I'm sorry to hear about this experience. I'm a Hearst parent and I don't see this happening across all grade levels. Since 4th grade has two classes, losing one or both teachers is enough to create a lot of instability. There aren't enough teachers who could provide backup coverage in many schools and this is especially acute in a small school.[/quote]
