    For as ling as , trachers have been disappearing mid week or every Monday not appearing til mid afternoon or absconding on maternity leave year after year with little or no proper planning for their abandoned classes. Its not a matter of simple pay it’s also a mater of standards and professionalism.

    In my situation its about the school not the teacher, you are really not helping now.

    Yes, but there has to be teachers actually willing to go on a panel in the first place. If people simply don’t want to join the profession, there’s very little a head can do about that. We can’t exactly afford to keep a spare French teacher on retainer in the staff room either.

    Are you a student? What subject is the teacher in?

    “Absconding” on maternity leave? Would you prefer for them to give birth behind their desks and then carry on teaching? If the class are not being taught, surely that’s a matter to take up with a sub? How can you blame a teacher for taking maternity leave that they are fully entitled to?

    All the more reason why the ETB should put in a request.

    how do substitute panels actually work, is it done a regional basis? I know its up to the head to act but surely relief panels aren't arranged by the schools themselves but some larger association ie the ETB.
    for primary there seems to be website where you can both find jobs and advertise yourself, but with ETB its seems just a form to submit yourself
