[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there anything we can do when a teacher is out a lot?

Does anything happen to them?   
Does the principal care?  [/quote]

Do you realize that they may have something going on with their own health or a family member’s health? It’s truly none of your business but the likelihood that they’re just taking off for something light and not serious is minimal. Please have some grace. [/quote]

She looks healthy. I will need to start writing down the days she out  [/quote]
People like you are why good teachers are leaving the profession and good people are deciding against becoming teachers. Just so you know,[/quote]

DP— you think people are leaving teaching/not becoming teachers because parents will expect them to be physically present at their jobs? I think you’re vastly underestimating teachers.[/quote]

Don't play dumb. They are leaving because parents like OP treat them so poorly and want full retribution without having any information as to why the teacher is not there. It's not for OP to decide whether her absences are legist ("she looks healthy" nonsense). That's for the principal to decide.[/quote]

Sure, but she can’t go to the principal and say “she’s out a lot”. She will need to go and say “I am worried about the lost instruction on these eight days” and then ask for a fix. Otherwise the principal will gaslight and say no there haven’t been an unusual number of absences. If she wants the problem addressed she’s right that the first step is to document (and ‘addressed’ doesn’t mean retribution against the teacher, it should moving the student to a more consistent class or getting other school-based intervention)[/quote]
