[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the last time, I have absolutely no issue with her taking her mat leave. It’s sad that she could only take  4 months off and couldn’t be off for an entire year but we all know this is a bigger issue and requires the Congress to actually do something to help all working parents. My issue is now that she is back, she is only in class 2-3 days a week. She has been absent sporadically, then was was absent for a week and then she again left midday Friday because she got a call from daycare. Didn’t come Monday, shows up on Tuesday but then is absent again on Wednesday. I absolutely understand the need for qualified substitutes but her absences are so sporadic that even a substitute can only do so much. You can’t have a substitute show up for a day and be caught up on what the kids are doing. As I said, I was perfectly happy with the student teacher that taught in the fall. She had no experience but she was still a great teacher. I am just annoyed at this teacher’s sporadic absences. It would actually help if she takes the entire year off so the kids can once again get a long term sub. [/quote]

FYI, there are no long term subs :\  We just had a teacher go out for the remainder of the year and they are BEGGING existing staff to each pick up one of her periods because there has been no response to the job posting.[/quote]
