[quote=Anonymous]My child is in a class that loops for two years -- 4th and 5th. The stellar 4th grade teacher (who may or may not be the OP's teacher, but the situation is the same) would loop up with the kids for 5th grade. She just announced she's going on maternity leave mid year next year. Lots of families were considering leaving the school for a different school -- Latin, BASIS, NW 5th grade class that feeds to Hardy/Deal -- and I suspect that quite a few people chose to stay at the current school for continuity and because of the fantastic teacher. As was mentioned by the OP, her school (like mine if it's not the same school) has not had a good track record of hiring subs to fill in that are of the same caliber as the regular classroom teacher.

I think parents are happy for the great teacher, bummed for their child, and questioning their decision to stay for another year at school that may be disruptive. That's it. All the advice of talking to the principal is good. That's all you can do, right?[/quote]
