His teacher quit over the break

I wonder if the school is treating its teachers right. For so many of the teachers to have left without completing the year... I also hope his former teacher didn't have something bad happen in her family. It's kind of traumatizing in a way for little kids to have to adjust to new teachers when they are so used to one person. Kids get so attached, unlike adults.

oh, it's sad when that happens, especially if the children had grown to like the teacher who left. But then that will teach them an important lesson in life, to accept changes , that is. Well,maybe teachers feel unreciprocated for their effort, and this is evident from the number of teachers that left

Wow!! They leave without even coming in and saying Goodby to their class? This seems unreal and would be hard for the children to take especially if it has happened to them 3 times already. Have you checked with the school to get any explanation? All I can say is wishing your Son the Best, and hopefully this is not going to be a normal trend for that school as well.

Wow that's a lot of teachers leaving. My daughter had that problem in preschool. Her teacher has issues with the preschool company and she quit. So they got them a sub till after christmas and then the replacement started after they got back from Christmas. I was a little upset at first and thought she would have issues, but it was honestly the best thing that ever happened to her. When she started she would listen and follow along but she was too shy to participate. The new teacher figured out what would work and got her to open up.

I only had to deal with it once when a teacher went on maternity leave. Correction, twice. In both cases, she came back before the end of the school year. If the child really likes the teacher, that can be really hard on them.

it is very bad for the teachers to leave abruptly in the middle of the academic year.And small kids will really be upset if they had started liking towards them.Teachers are parents at school and I can understand how he would be upset.Not only that,the students will not be able to adopt to the style of different teachers.

I haven't had to deal with that yet but children do get attached to their teachers. When my daughter went to middle school last year, the hardest thing for her was leaving a teacher that she adored. There was one time that my daughter had a substitute for most of the year because of a childbirth. I didn't feel like she got what she needed out of school that year.

No I've never had to deal with that problem or heard of anyone's child experiencing that kind of situation. I have heard the opposite which is a child transferring to a lot of schools but definitely not your story. Still I would say that it's unusual for a teacher to not care or be concerned about the students enough to not say goodbye. Most teachers know that children are very impressionable and would try to not leave them with bad experiences. I can only think the fault is in the school that your child attends. Perhaps they are firing the teachers or making it difficult for them to stay on the job. Why don't you ask the administration what is their policy about changing teachers in mid-year and do they give the teachers an opportunity to give closure to students by saying goodbye or giving some explanation of their departure so the students won't think they were the problem.

Although I did not meet this situation, but I can imgine your kids' upset. It is not a short time to follow a new teacher's style, what's more, it is not easy to find a suitable new one. You need to guide the kids to be some optimism for a new one. Good luck to you and your kids.
