Nowadays, teachers do not need to give their personal contact numbers to students and parents correct?

How do they contact you?

It is a poor reflection of how teacher recruitment is being done.

It is poor planning or lack of planning.

Not taking into account future resignations is compounding the problem.

Failure to plan is planning to fail.

The school is also tied down by HR policy.

If the teacher remains in the school in June and July, the school is ordinarily not able to get additional headcount to replace the teacher until the following year. If the teacher leaves by the end of May, the quota is released and a vacancy is created. This could allow a full-time teacher to be posted in before the end of the year, or in some cases, a FAJT to be hired immediately to fill the gap temporarily.

It's true that all employees have the right to resign whenever they want, but don't make the school sound like it is just intentionally trying to make the teacher's life hard.

do u care abt leaving on good terms. if you don’t you can just say I refuse. ur lack of manpower is ur problem.
this is one reason why SLs and KPs can gaslight teachers into alll sorts of things - teachersx don’t know their basic rights.

Kinda wasted to lose my mid year bonus just coz P claims cannot hire another teacher in middle of the term. Anyone who has had similar situation?
