[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS reports no subs, presentations and exams this week. A few parties on Thursday and Friday. He as at least one essay due in class on Friday.

Teachers being in class is always variable. It has been rare for DS to have subs during this week over the 9 years he has been in school but that could be an anomaly[b]. The data shows that this is a week where there are lots of subs [/b]and lots of absences. Do your thing, just don’t expect that the teachers are required to get your kid caught up. I think most make an effort to get missed work to kids but they don’t have to.

I remember being in school in the 80’s and asking friends to let me know what the assignments were and to give me copy of notes when I missed school for some reason. The teacher wasn’t providing that info, I called and asked a friend. I am not sure why things would be different today. [/quote]

Parents should write the board and request the number of subs this week. They should send it to the principal as well as gatehouse to discourage further rude and badly received communication.[/quote]

For what, exactly?  Do you want the schools to be closed all of December?  Then another group of parents would be upset.  Teachers are professionals that are allowed to take vacation days off also.  [/quote]

So they don’t come at parents about taking vacations early when all their teachers are doing it. Duh.[/quote]
