    I'm glad to hear it is (sort of) working out :))

    I just heard from my mum now that there's a meeting next Wednesday to discuss the absences of teachers, but they're not allowed to mention specific names. She hopes to talk to our head on Monday, which is parents evening for our year. There are rumours going around that the exam will be pushed back a few weeks, and I presume they'd take into consideration that the teacher is basically never in school. [:

    I know in Australia they would do the exam later or somehow adjust the marks if that happened. Like, they wouldn't just send the class off to their doom.

    Your teacher is only human. Perhaps something terrible happened in her life and she's trying to work things out. I'm sure she doesn't mean to fail you all.

    This is absolutely insane. I feel students don't need the entire story, but they do owe you an explanation. If it were me, all this reappearing and disappearing would be so distracting, not to mention you don't have a quote on quote "real" Physics teachers. I'm sure somebody knows something about physics, but this is ridiculously unfair to you guys, especially since your grades are being affects by a factor(s) you can't control! Best of luck!

    God Bless

    You can complain to the head teacher and if they do nothing, the board. And if they do nothing, you can take it higher because they're messing your education about.
