Teacher took yesterday off to be at the white house egg roll...

[Anonymous]

This is more of a venting post, but I am so annoyed that my child's teacher took the day off yesterday to bring her kids to the white house egg roll. We haven't even considered the egg roll because it's a school day, right after a week off for spring break. But apparently its okay for the teacher?

She took a day off. Would you like it if your employer judged your reasons for taking a day off?

Are you serious? She has just as much right to bring her kids as you had to bring yours. Tons of kids who weren't on break missed school for the hunt yesterday.

This is such a non-issue and you sound ridiculous.

WOW. You are really judging why someone took a day off of work?

I've heard of entitled parents, but this just about takes the cake. Do you complain when he/she takes a sick day?

So she can only use her vacation days for trips that you approve of?

I would rather the teacher take a vacation day on a teacher work day than on a day when the kids are in school with a substitute. They have vacation time off as well.

OP Here - I forgot to mention this teacher has been off A TON this school year. Otherwise, I would agree with above regarding teachers being entitled to vacation time whenever they choose.

That is between her and her boss. Which is not you. You have no idea why she is taking time off, and it was obviously approved.

Ever hear of a personal day? Teachers get them too.
