[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So just wondering what is the point of this thread? I’m honestly asking. My kid is at another school and they lost their science teacher a few weeks into the school year. It sucks. But I guess I trust that the school is attempting to fill the position and I’m not really sure what complaining about it either to them or to an anonymous message board will accomplish? If I’m wrong please let me know. Especially if complaining to someone would help lighten the load of the other teacher who is now pulling half-a$$ double duty to try to cover all the classes and is completely overburdened.[/quote]
The issue, at least IMO, is that Deal didn't tell parents that there was no teacher. It took almost a full month for the school to reach out and tell us that the teacher had been gone since the start of the year. And that was followed up with a "my bad" note from the school because they gave the students F's/Incompletes on all of the science class assignments that they never received (because the short-term subs were only there to babysit, not to teach a science lesson), and parents were understandably furious. The school is now generously removing all of those F's from their report cards.[/quote]
