[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think OP has a high schooler. You have to get a tutor if the teacher is missing too many days, or your kid won't learn the material. it is what it is. [/quote]

She has an A, but its annoying they are watching Netflix, and its like a off day for them.[/quote]

You want to get the teacher fired because your snoflake is bored? I asked already, but what the hell is wrong with you?[/quote]

DP but no. It would be great if administration could try to find subs that can teach the content or something.  I know easier said than done, but if it is high school class - I’m very supportive of the teacher having things going on, but my kid also needs to know this content before taking the next class. In one case we got a tutor, but not everyone has the budget for that. In another, it was a language teacher in 8th grade. Administration worked with the high school to note that the kids really may not have learned all the content, and the high school language teachers spent much more time reviewing.  I do not think it’s wrong to contact the principal nicely and see if there is some plan. Unfortunately, teaching is not like other professions where sick days don’t impact everyone.

If the teacher is out for a prolonged period of time, the school should address the lack of instruction. No one is arguing anything else. However, OP is gaining no sympathy because of the way she is going about this "she doesn't look sick" etc. She should concern herself with her child's progress (or the lack off) and leave the legitimacy of the reason for the teacher to be out to the principal. Teachers are people and deal with life just like you and me. We should not expect them to come to work when they are sick or dealing with family emergencies. We need to have contingencies for when those things happen instead of expecting the impossible. [/quote]
