[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I posted a similar query last fall, when my child's K teacher went on maternity leave on the first day of school. (She was supposed to leave a few weeks in but went on bedrest unexpectedly.) I was really annoyed, to be quite honest; not that a teacher was having a baby, but that my child's first experience in "real" school was going to be disjointed and possibly disorganized. I also tended to doubt the teacher would come back after maternity leave.

I got bashed, as you are beginning to do, and I don't think that was entirely fair - it's reasonable to want your child to have consistent teaching. But here's the thing: I was totally one hundred percent wrong. The long-term sub who came to my child's classroom on day 2 was fantastic, and the original teacher returned after 3 short months and was equally wonderful (or better, I can't really compare.) My child had a perfect year in kindergarten.

So all this is to say that I understand your anxiety but it doesn't have to work out badly.[/quote]

You were worried about this in kindergarten?  You deserved all the bashing you got, and then some. Good lord. [/quote]
