[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is all so foreign to me. I’m a teacher so rarely take leave during the contract year. DH is a law firm partner, so doesn’t even track his leave because he’s still responsible for his client matters and typically works on vacation, even if it’s just to check email/texts and delegate specific tasks to others. Some times he has to work a lot on vacation, other times just a little each day.[/quote]

I’m also a teacher. I used to save all of my leave, figuring it reflects poorly on me to leave my students. I’ve since changed my mind. I have leave and it’s there for me to use. I only get one trip on this planet and work can’t be more important than living.

The responses on this thread almost unanimously say to take the leave. That should apply to teachers, as well. [/quote]

I agree teachers should take leave but I think classes should be regularly team taught so as to accommodate this, rather than bringing in a sub like they do now. Just like my office job is done by my teammates while I'm out, not by a random temp. [/quote]
