Teacher being laid off 11/18/2019

Last Friday my daughter came back shocked. She told me her teacher was leaving.

All the students saw the teacher was crying during the recess.  

My daughter handed me a letter from her teacher. It was addressed to me and my husband. It was a simple letter mentioned she was happy to have my daughter in her class and appreciated her for being very nice and kind to her. She also mentioned about her leaving the school. She wrote her last day would be November 26th. My daughter told me we were the only one who received a personal letter from the teacher.

I emailed the teacher and informed I received her letter. I also mentioned to her that we appreciated her kind support to my daughter.

The teacher replied back to me and told me she would call me and tell me the truth after everything is done.

The situation seemed to be serious. According to my daughter, her teacher was not resigning with her personal reason. She was fired. Nobody knows the reason why she got fired. I concerned about the teacher. I have talked with her a couple of times in person. She does not seem to be a bad person at all.

This morning I talked with the school vice principal over the phone. I asked her what happened to the teacher, but she politely told me she cannot give me the detailed information. The school has been interviewing candidates who will take over the class. According to the vice principal, the teacher did not show up today.

That was a big deal. I understand the school cannot tell the detailed information to protect the teacher’s privacy. I just hope the teacher will feel better soon for whatever happened to her.
