[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That sucks, and I'm sorry.  There must be something really difficult going on in that teacher's life right to make such a decision.[/quote]
She probably got fed up with the a-hole parents.[/quote]

Honestly, this is probably accurate. [/quote]

I wouldn't blame her. [/quote]

Not this late in the year. It’s unprofessional and rude. Anyone can work another 6 weeks. That’s a really $hitty thing to do to her students. Just finish the damn year and move on. [/quote]

Why should she wait six weeks? Teachers don't get paid for the summer. So her leaving now for a better job means a better financial future long-term. OP doesn't like it I'm sure she knows were the sub sign-up forms are. It won't even be that long, just six weeks.  :lol: [/quote]

Wow, the disrespect towards teachers just doesn't stop.[/quote]

DP: Why is this disrespect?  Teachers are supposed to give up better financial offers just because you think they should conform to your idea of professionalism?  They owe it to their students?  The same teachers who routinely get pink slips every spring and often don't know if/where they are going to work the next year until mid-summer?  The same teachers who have been putting up with a ton of crap from so many angles the past few years?   Putting teachers on a pedestal who will suffer through anything--give up their own and their family's well-being-- for their students is not "respect"  it's an unreasonable expectation.  To couch it as 'respect' is just extra gaslighting.  These and many other unreasonable demands are what is gutting the teacher profession.  Sure, I'd prefer a teacher--or any worker-- not quit without notice but I can totally understand why someone would if they are at the breaking point.  And only hr and the teacher know the actual situation, not OP.   But if we don't course correct on demands on teachers, the issue is not whether you'll have the same teacher for the next month or so, but whether you'll have any at all next year.[/quote]

Spare us your union BS.  Unprofessional behavior is unprofessional behavior in any field.  [/quote]

Live in denial of the growing teacher shortage then.  [/quote]
