I’m in a different DC area school district. My 8th grader’s science teacher quit (or was fired; it’s unclear) in October. They couldn’t even get a regular sub for most of the first 4 months. Different teachers had to babysit the class during their planning periods. They finally got a long term sub in February or March. My child has gotten no science instruction since October. Her class gets the assignments from other science teachers and those other teachers take turns grading them.

You will be very, very lucky if you get a decent sub for the rest of the year.

You have no idea why she's quitting. She's probably breaking her contract and that will damage future teaching opportunities.
I think she probably has something happening in her personal life- but typical for parents to assume the worst intention. Supplement at home if your kid needs additional instruction.

That’s a shame

Probably got a better gig. I don’t blame her, the horror stories of teaching this year are enough to scare prospective teachers and recent Ed grads away for years.

She probably got fed up with the a-hole parents.

Honestly, this is probably accurate.

I wouldn't blame her.

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.

Unless the new job said we need you to start by xx/xx date.

Sad the kids didn’t get to say goodbye, but I cannot fault the teacher for looking out for themselves.

Could be major health issues- you never know.

I was going to say she probably got fed up with admin and that’s why she flounced off with the things she had paid for.

5th, sorry forgot that.

What age/ grade?

Really? 34 days left and she quits.

The email says they are looking for a permanent sub but they have been difficult to find.

So basically for the next month+ he'll just have a revolving door of subs it sounds like.

My favorite part of the email was actually for us to prepare the kids that their classroom will look different on Monday morning. I'm assuming because she took a bunch of decorations and furniture with her that she'd purchased.

He's so bummed and I'm bummed for him.
