That's it really?

I would think they'd had enough of the job and bailed.

That's it.

Hillls · 10/05/2007 22:15

She'd been having it off with the headmaster and his wife was on her case

MrsDiorKeanuReeves · 10/05/2007 22:16

That they had an affair with the Head and got sacked

MerryMarigold · 10/05/2007 22:16

i'd be VERY curious but would assume it was something they wanted to keep quiet. could be bereavement, depression, any illness really... but i would assume it was private rather than criminal.

MrsDiorKeanuReeves · 10/05/2007 22:16

Damn you beat me!

morningpaper · 10/05/2007 22:16

I would think that the school was very poor at communication

they had won the lottery and told them to shove it up their arse

TheArmadillo · 10/05/2007 22:17

could be a million reasons. Either something to do with school asking her to leave or because she wanted to leave suddenly for personal reasons that she didn't want to share or had problems with school.

I wouldn't jump to any conclusions.

southeastastra · 10/05/2007 22:17

not alot, it happens alot here

expatinscotland · 10/05/2007 22:17

You people have your minds in the gutter.

NKF · 10/05/2007 22:17

Alien abduction. Definitely.

Hathor · 10/05/2007 22:17

Nervous breakdown due to nosey parents?
Family crisis
Sack due to falsifying Sats results?
Took one look at my kids and left?
Odd they haven't explained. Go and ask the head or the office.

TheArmadillo · 10/05/2007 22:17

I am really damn slow sometimes.

slayerette · 10/05/2007 22:17

When it happened to someone I know, the reason wasn't good

Sparkler1 · 10/05/2007 22:17

LOL at some of you lot!

Perhaps she couldnt hack jamie olivers school dinners

wannaBeWhateverIWannaBe · 10/05/2007 22:18

wouldn't think anything really. people leave jobs all the time - maybe she'd resigned but hadn't told anyone, maybe she won the lottery, maybe she had a family crisis, but ultimately I don't think information needs to be forthcoming does it?

that being said we had a teacher at school who left very suddenly and even then I was pretty sure why - he was a bit touchy feely if you get my drift ...

DumbledoresGirl · 10/05/2007 22:18

I would think they had had a breakdown. Honestly. Ds2's teacher is very sweet but not really able to handle it sometimes and he has had a lot of days off sick this year. I am assuming he is under stress. Of course, it could be anything.

expatinscotland · 10/05/2007 22:18

Maybe she won the Lotto and told them to take their job and stow it.

WendyWeber · 10/05/2007 22:18

Nervous breakdown due to domineering headteacher

brimfull · 10/05/2007 22:19

slayerette-spill! I need to know!

stressteddy · 10/05/2007 22:19

Got pregnant and got addicted to Mn - no time for anything else now

southeastastra · 10/05/2007 22:21

i work with children and only for a few hours each week, how teachers do it is beyond me!

slayerette · 10/05/2007 22:24

Well, think Operation Ore and things you should not be looking at on the internet, especially if you use your credit card to pay. You know when you think you know someone and then you realise you had no idea...It was an absolutely horrendous time.
