You seem to be taking this awfully personally. No one said any such thing.
I'm not getting it either. She was clearly talking about how a 12 month leave is a positive as regards to teaching and how it is a positive in other areas as well. No bashing to be found that I can see. None of this "protest" makes any sense to me.
My previous company had a main facility in Canada. We had to deal with leaves in the US and leaves in Canada and while the long term 12 month leave in some cases was hard, the short term one we have here was just as well. With the 12 month leave in Canada it takes a few weeks to get the replacement fully on board. Then they're with you for 11 more months. In the US it's so short you either try and tough it out by not hiring anybody to cover which is a huge burden on those covering or you hire a temp who is clueless for most of their term there and then the original employee comes back and they struggle for a few weeks to find their way back into their job with new routines andsleep patterns at home.
