[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher jobs have also lost appeal because they are so inflexible. Many jobs are now hybrid or 100% remote.
Teachers have to be in person 5 days a week and cannot be late. Taking a day off is a big hassle. No thanks. I will stick with my chill remote job [/quote]
Forget taking off a whole day. It’s almost impossible to take the time to receive an important phone call. I’m waiting for results from a biopsy. I’ve asked that my doctor call after 3 pm, but I realize she is very busy. I can’t take the day off just to receive her call, but I’m not supposed to answer my phone during class.

I’ve been joking that I was lucky to get my initial cancer diagnosis in 2021 when we were still in Zoom school. I just muted myself, answered the phone, listened to my doctor tell me I had cancer, said thank you, promised to call a number to set up an appointment, and within 1 minute had unmuted myself and pretended nothing had happened while I taught the rest of the class.

I am so so sorry.  I hope you are getting the help and support you needed then (and now).  [/quote]
