OK, now I know you're crazy. Did it ever occur to you that she went into labor? Or maybe something happened over the weekend and her doctor put her on bed rest until delivery? It has nothing to do with benefits whatsoever. Teachers are entitled to have babies at the beginning of the year, middle of the year, end of the year. Hell, even during the testing window.  It is not all about you. Your special snowflake will be fine with a sub. You, however, will most likely turn her into an anxious, stressed-out mess if you don't get a handle on yourself. [/quote]

Wow.  What an attack.  Not the PP, but has it occurred to you that it is not about the mom or the teacher--it is about the KID!

Not the PP quoted, but OP's issue does seem to be pretty much about herself. If it was about the kid, then OP would have waited
to see how her kid does with the sub before posting upon looking the teacher up online.

The kid will most likely be fine with the transition once the teacher comes back from leave. I'm sure somebody will post that their kid was irrevocably traumatized by having a long term sub, but it would be extremely rare. The tone of OP's post and some PPs, like the one who thinks the school should have sent home a letter before the beginning of the school year, are a little over the top.

Teachers have babies at different points throughout the year. They don't think of how the timing affects your family--and they shouldn't have to. If you think it would affect you or your child that much for your child's teacher to be home with their newborn then you may want to look into homeschooling  considering that teachers are predominately female.  Or scope out schools where the majority of the teachers are beyond menopause. [/quote]
