Believe it or not, teachers are also human who may need support from time to time.

I had a teacher who everyone loved, and mid-year she told us that she had to quit because her and her husband had been trying to adopt and they finally had the chance.
Everyone was happy for her, and she even came by the school with her kid one day, during lunch break, and the others teachers warned us so we could see her and meet her kid.
Granted this was post highschool (so you have a different relation with your teachers) but yeah, I can see how this could happen.
