Teacher on sick leave but always out!

Hello,

My child goes to a lovely primary school. One of the mums at school is also a TA in the reception class, although I am
not a close friend of hers I am
a friend of a friend and my child is in her class at school.

Anyway, a few months ago she had an operation and was signed off sick from work and for the rest of the school year (due to return in Sept). That was a hell
of a long time off and then the school holidays.

during her sick leave, she has been at weddings dancing, out drinking (I’ve seen shared on Facebook) and I saw a video of her at the end of school year do up singing and dancing with other teachers! (Shown to me by a teacher who retired). Apparently not able to physically do her job but can be off sick. She’s now said she will be doing a phased return in sept as she’s still in slight pain but I can’t get my head around it. How can she get away with it!! It left the class short staffed and seems unfair. She was honestly jumping around dancing and singing in the videos

Are you generally so petty and jealous in your life? Grow up.
