Just sent Elly the following Facebook message and am now feeling a little horrible about it:
Okay, I have to ask: do you even remotely comprehend how selfish you seem? Leaving without any notice like that was both unnecessary and inconsiderate. There was no reason you couldn’t have told anyone in advance.
Update for anyone who missed it: Elly's the teacher who pulled a runner last weekend.
I really don't think it's out of line. She could have at least pretended to be a little apologetic about leaving. Her grandmother died and her mother didn't have the heart to tell her until three weeks later, which Elly claimed was the last straw but which was clearly just the excuse she needed to pack up and run. Grandma's not getting any deader, honey. You can give your thirty days' notice before hightailing it home.
She also didn't have a job lined up for when she got back to New York. Brilliant.
Also, she was a pretty crappy teacher who, when she wasn't letting her Korean teacher delegate everything, would give book work and then dick around online, and she flat-out admitted she wasn't interested in teaching so much as she was in making money to pay off the bills she racked up by buying too much stupid shit back home. I'd be a lot less stressed if I didn't give a crap whether my students were actually learning, but unfortunately my brain just isn't wired that way.
I'm trying to remember all of her good points, since we were pretty close, but it's really hard right now.
ETA: And she responds!
Whoa where is all this comming from? I already explained why I didnt tell you in advance. In fact there were multiple reasons I couldnt give anyone advance notice. I think youre just stressed out from having double the amount of morning students.
YES THAT IS PART OF IT HOW SMART OF YOU TO INFER THAT!!111ONE!
Since she left, I'm now teaching both kindergarten classes so Jack can teach Elly's preschool class. A little annoying, but nothing I can't handle (nothing I haven't done before, even, since I taught both classes for a week while Jack was doing his visa run). What really irks me is how flat-out oblivious this girl seems.
