[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]What's wrong with building up leave? It's not like a teacher can take off for a month and go on vacation with it. It has to be used as sick leave and after a few days in a row needs to be approved. [b]When a teacher retires from FCPS, he/she doesn't get paid for unused leave[/b].

This was my chief problem with it. Thank you for clarifying that.

Actually, I think you can use sick leave toward retirement credit.  So maybe you don't get paid, but if you have a few months of leave accrued, that can be used toward your years worked.

Ok, THAT I have a problem with.[/quote]

I know!  Can you imagine!?  It's not like teachers don't get enough perqs - the high salary, the generous benefits package, the golden parachutes and the incredible snowflakes and parents they get to work with.  It's not like some of them went without a pay raise for a couple of years or that they have to use their own money for supplies.  Imagine them getting to accrue leave balances!  If they really want to accrue sick leave, they should go into federal service where there is no limit on sick leave accrual.[/quote]

Not the poster you are responding to; but our federal-employee household went 4 years without an increase several years back.  And private company employees live without regular raises and without generous leave packages.  I wouldn't want to be a teacher no matter how much you paid me.  But teachers DO get ten weeks plus holidays every year.  Other people work 60+ hours a week year round with only a few weeks of leave, which includes their sick leave.[/quote]
