Some of those days might have been training/ conference days. So the teacher might have been working but not in the classroom. Or the teacher might have had a sub so she could assess students one by one.

Huh? That would be 20 days of vacation leave. They allow a teacher to rack up that much time? Sure it wasn't a family emergency?
Yes, this teacher missed more than 4 wks of school already so far. Vacation plus some other school days. Yes, amazingly they allow a teacher to do that. Yes, I'm positive it wasn't a family emergency according to the letter sent home by her. My DC also said the teacher told the class what a good time she had. How luxurious.

I am a teacher at a DC charter. I have missed 0 days.
Out of the other four teachers on my grade level:
Two have missed 0 days
One has missed 2 days
One has missed >8 days
And yes, the one who has missed a lot of days has missed them for BS reasons

Is the teacher an observant Jew? There are a lot of Torah-mandated "nonwork" days in the fall beyond Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Maybe the teacher has been out for that?

I think my dd's kindergarten teacher was out a total of about 5 or 6 days in the entire school year last year.
I try to equate it to my own needs - working parent with 2 kids. In a year, I generally miss 4 or 5 days of work due to illness and then another couple of days due to things related to my kids.
7 days so far sounds like a lot but, like PP said, there may be circumstances of which you're not aware.

It could just be bad timing, OP. Maybe she had a child who was ill, and then she got ill herself. Maybe on top of that, she had a day or two where she was attending a conference that she had signed up for well in advance. Or maybe she's just dealing with a personal health issue right now. Sometimes these things snowball.

My daughter's teacher has missed 7 days of school so far. I just wanted to see how often other teachers are absent.
