My DD is in y1 and her teacher is leaving due to stress. The other y1 class also has a supply since start of new term. At the moment, both classes are going to be taught by supply teachers, for the foreseeable. And it could potentially be different ones. Aibu to be worried about the impact? Also my DD isn’t great with change.

Sounds like you chose the wrong school, have you got any other options?

Thanks everyone for your comments. Well I actually heard elsewhere it was due to the stress but the head actually made a post and said it was due to the teacher deciding to change careers. I believe this is the second year of teaching for her

The two things are probably the same reason. Many people leave in the first few years of teaching. It's an odd job in that most of the stress is at the start of your career, by the time you've taught for a decade or more it's less stressful and better paid. You're doing more or less the same thing, just more efficiently and experience.
