[quote=Anonymous]I posted earlier, but noting "free day off..." If you don't teach, you have no idea how much work a "free day off " requires. If a teacher is out, not only do they need to make up the work the students missed, they need to provide something for the substitute to do. For many conscientious teachers, that means creating a worthwhile lesson, and trying to explain in writing to an unknown sub how to implement it. It's at least twice the work of doing it yourself. (Yeah, I know sometimes the kids just get junk, when there's no alternative....unanticipated illness/emergency, etc. But a planned day out--even for professional development -- is a heap of work.)[/quote]
