[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So does this work in any other industry?  I work in healthcare and patients showed up today and all doctors and nurses were present.  Their children were home too with no school.   They didn’t ask to bring kids to work or make excuses not to work today.  Stop the coddling of teachers.  If you are a working professional, you need to have plans for childcare. Period![/quote]

Thank you!  I've been saying the same thing about this being industry-specific. [/quote]

You’re forgetting that subs are normally the back up plan for teachers when they have a child care issue. My teacher  parent NEVER had any issues getting a sub even the morning of. This was over their entire career. Also, if you want teachers to be able to afford the  back up child care you need to pay them more. I’ve paid for back up child care. Many, many times. No way teachers can pay that. In fact, if my parent had already used their sick and personal leave for the year (a whole 7 days total), they had to pay for the sub out of their paycheck.[/quote]
