[quote=Anonymous]The situation is not ideal, and I understand your disappointment, but there is nothing to be angry about. The school notified you on the first day of school - class assignments change all the way up until the first day, so they wouldn't notify anyone before then. The teacher went on maternity leave, which is her right as an employee, and certainly not an example of her gaming the system. Nor is this somehow the fault of MCPS. I think you need a little perspective - at least this happened early on, and you child will only have to deal with switching from the sub to the teacher once, rather than starting with the teacher, then adjusting to the sub and back to the teacher again.

Also, you need to be prepared for this to happen more than once in your child's school career. Teachers are overwhelmingly female, and they do from time to time have kids! It's happened to my daughter twice already, and she's no worse for the wear. Best thing you can do is adopt a positive attitude, because your child will pick up on your negativity. Support you child's learning at home, if that's a concern. Help your child with the adjustment to her regular teacher when she does return (most do!). And send the new mom a card. She'll appreciate it.[/quote]
