It all depends on the job. Unfortunately, there are jobs/industries where if you provide notice, they will actually tell you to clean out your desk and leave on the spot. For junior positions...not so much if you are senior, but that is not the subject of this thread.

I don't think it is cool to just ghost your workplace, but also don't count on that 2 or 4 weeks of extra pay when you think you are doing the right thing by giving notice.

I understand doing that at McDonald’s or at a minimum wage job, but someone who works as an elementary school teacher not even giving noticed they just cold quitting…

Are you a principal?

I’m a parent, my son told him she stopped showing up and she quit, I emailed the principal and she told me she resigned I asked her why, she said it personal and she wasn’t going to share it with parents…

It takes A LOT for a teacher to get fired, and for it to happen mid-year is extremely rare. You'd have heard about what they did that was illegal if they got fired mid-year.

Anyone with a job like this does need to notify administration and figure out a plan for last paycheck, Cobra...So not sure what you are talking about. Even my ds who quit his waiter job had to go get his last paycheck!

Once someone is old enough to be a teacher, they are no longer a kid whose parents need to tell them to do anything.

I don’t know why the teacher in your situation stopped showing up, but I doubt it’s their mommy’s fault.

You have no idea why the teacher quit. There’s a very high likelihood that it’s a really good reason. (The fact teaching is often toxic and abusive is one of those good reasons.) I don’t think you’re in a position to presume, OP.

And teachers are allowed to quit just like any other profession. It’s a job and the teacher didn’t owe you anything.

They got a job where they don’t have to deal with parents, that’s why they’re gone.

You have deranged main character syndrome.

I will tell my kids it's ok to quit their job. I hope they give notice without me telling them to do so. But I also understand if someone just can't make themselves to go work one morning.
I remember driving to work and hoping I would crash. I don't want my kids or anyone to have to be in the same situation. My kids don't need another job lined up. Having worked some nightmare jobs in my 20s and 30s, I invested for my kids and they don't really even have to work. This is not an option for many and I'm all for them quitting right there and then if this is the best option out of several.

The teacher might have been fired...

Sound like you are a hyper-defensive teacher who thinks everything is about you.

Do you mean it is not Ok to quit? Because it is not. Not without another job.

Idk if you can “give notice” as a teacher? Its probably in the union contract how any separation happens.
