[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that sub teachers are disruptive to the learning of any aged student, especially lower school. 
I also agree that a passive, permissive teacher will not generate good behavior in the classroom. I saw this first hand in a couple classes. [/quote]

Are you saying teachers should never take a day off?
Do you ever take a day off from your job?[/quote]

Np.  I plan vacations during for school breaks and get them approved by my superior. Sick days are rare. Dental and doctor appts are on school days off.

Why? Are you a teacher that takes days off during the school year for personal stuff?   I recall that works easily with the 2 teacher model but not so easily with a 1 teacher per classroom model. That was a big adjustment for us.

One of my child’s teachers was out for two weeks last year. Why?  His daughter was dying. It was unscheduled personal leave that I am sure he would have preferred not to have to take.

This an extreme example but the point is teachers need to take the occasional unscheduled day of leave, as do we all.

Your child will survive.

How did you even know that? Our school says nothing. Our other kids school the teacher explained before they left for out of town obligations. 
Case 1: radio silence and young kid never mentioned it til no work came home ever
Case 2: kid mentioned it day 1 at bedtime out of concern and empathy for the teacher. [/quote]
