I just got an email from Jake's AS teacher saying that she got a promotion to head the AS dept of the county school system and she is getting a replacement. This is the teacher that took my boy that was so far gone and made him my boy again. At least she will still be there when I need her, her repalcement has very big shoes to fill. I am just so sad because Jake and her have a good bond and understanding of what is expected of him. She is like the protective mother hen when he is at school.

I am just very torn because I am so happy for her yet I dont want her to leave!

Well now, that is a bummer! I KWYM. On the one hand you really are pleased for the teacher because they deserve it but scared to death of who will fill thier shoes. When we have a good teacher we want to hold on for dear life!

Mike's teacher has been wanting to have a child, infertility and the lot. On the one hand, I would love for her to have a child. She is wonderful and will make a fabulous mom. On the other I am scared to death we would lose her. As it is we will lose her after Mike graduates 5th grade but that is 2 more years. I am hoping we keep her that long.

Lisa,

How bittersweet for you! On a positive note: People often hire clones of themselves, so if the hiring process is up to her, here's hoping that's exactly what happens. I hope Jake adjusts OK to the change.

Good luck to all of you.

I would be torn too! A great teacher can make sure a huge difference. I really really hope you get another fabulous teacher in her place. I hope at least that his current teacher gets to help pick the replacement. She sounds great and she would probably have good instincts for picking the replacement.
