[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just got our daughter's K teacher assignment and I googled her name in hopes of figuring out which teacher she was (please don't flame me - I realize this is stalkerish, but my older kids attended the same school a few years ago and I don't quite remember who is who.) Anyway, all the top search results for the name are for baby registries with a due date not far away. I'm kind of bummed that my kid will start school with a teacher who will only be present for a few weeks, then a sub for who knows how long. My DD is a challenging kid and definitely not academically advanced at this stage. We're trying really hard to get her started on the right foot with K and I'm worried that this won't help things. Has anyone had a good experience with a long-term sub in early elementary? Any advice in general? I know this is hardly a unique experience, and it's obviously a very happy one for the teacher herself, but the longest my older kids have ever had subs was maybe a month (teacher with back problems). I assume maternity leave will be 3 months if not longer.[/quote]I do not think you need to worry about this. The other teachers will help cover for consistency. The principal will get an appropriate substitute.  You need to recognize that the kids are very flexible and can learn a lot from this situation. What a great lesson for your DVD to see that you can have a baby and then come back to work. Enjoy kindergarten! It will all work out! [/quote]DD not DVD! Smartphone not so smart :-)[/quote]
