[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In most professions everyone who wants leave can't automatically get it at the same time. Is this what the teachers are arguing for? That seems really out of touch.[/quote] No. What we need are more teachers to replace those who have quit, and more substitute teachers.[/quote] But they want more subs so everyone can take off at Thanksgiving for a week, I think. That part seems pretty out of touch. [/quote] Really, no. At least in DC area schools people aren't being given personal leave for Thanksgiving week. But SUBS didn't want to work Mon-Wed so it was even harder to find subs for those teachers who were ill or had resigned or were quarantined etc. At least that's what happened in my school. We managed -- we just put several classes together in the cafeteria and let them hang out there with one teacher. But it wasn't great.[/quote]
