[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel badly for one teacher who spoke last night who had some real medical issues that she was dealing with. I hope that Kaiser would work with her to a destinations before the switch.

That said, we have all had to change providers at some point, and I don’t appreciate that some outspoken individuals are complaining to the parents about this. Health insurance issues suck. I get that. However, what they are facing isn’t that uncommon and the hyper Bolic [b]statements about needing sick days[/b] just to find doctors makes them look out of touch with reality. I think it’s certain Facebook page draws people to complain about everything and I think it’s actually done more harm to the system and good.[/quote]
This made me laugh.  Young staff I work with get 15 days of PTO plus 8 holidays per year.  23 days of leave for the [b]whole year[/b] - this is supposed to cover sick days, vacations, kid's days off from school... whatever.  And their health insurance changes companies every few years, too.  From the APS leave policy document, it appears that new teachers get at least 14 days of paid leave, another 10 sick days, 5 days at Thanksgiving, 10 at Christmas, and 5 in the spring.  I recognize that the pay is commensurate with this much leave, but honestly, to claim that you need more time off to get new doctors is making you sound completely unhinged and really hurting any goodwill that parents would be willing to share with you.[/quote]
