Do teachers share too much? Gender differences?

Businesses like that, such as schools and assembly lines and airlines, accept that part of the business requirements is to have spare people standing by to immediately step in when a gap occurs. And to recognize that gaps are simply inevitable. They are not unusual or a crisis or a failure. They’re as certain as sunrise. The only surprise today will be which specific gaps arise when and where and exactly how many. That there will be some gaps is 100% predictable.

Sadly, there’s a lot of businesses which insist in “lean human resources”, having the minimum amount of people and calling temps when someone fails. The people managing those tend to be surprised when the temp needs training (because every piece of heavy machinery works exactly the same way as every other one) or when nobody qualified can be found in five minutes (because ex-programmers with 10 years experience in Finance and a masters in Linguistics grow on trees).
