Mom Confessions
My third graders teacher has been gone constantly this school year. She's in her mid fifties otherwise I'd think she was pregnant or parting or on drugs. She will be gone sometimes a couple weeks at a time and refuses to say why. We've only been back since Wednesday and she's only been there two days!!! I know I'm a stay at home mom but when I worked I didn't get days off like that. I got the teachers phone number from someone I know that is her second cousion and she got mad when I called and the teacher told me not to call! What the hell?! You're a teacher, you're supposed to answer school and he questions. I guess she doesn't care about my kid. The priniipal refuses to tell me why the teacher is out so much. As a parent, I deserve to know. How can I make them tell me?

My tax dollars pay that teacher's salary! -
How do you know she's not sick? She could be battling cancer. Or her husband could be deathly sick. If the school allows her to be gone than there is a good reason. You had no business calling and asking her like that. -
You have no right to call her house or to know why she is out...It could be a very personal reason and as long as the school knows why and the school has allowed it that is all that matter...When you out of work it is none of your co workers business so why would the teacher being out be your business?

No you don't actually deserve to know. She is probably ill and its really none of your business. As to calling her at her home that was way out of line. If she wanted you to call her at home she would have given you the number her self. -
What if she has a debilitating illness and is doing everything she can to be there as much as possible but has good days and bad days?
Would you feel like an asshole?
I'm sure the people who NEED to know are very aware of what is going on with her.
