[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you mean, your husband "can't" stay home with them? [/quote]

I'm not the PP, but I am a teacher. My husband's salary is 4 times what I make as a teacher, he probably wouldn't be able to stay home for any more than a day or two either.[/quote]

I’m PP and yes, this is our situation. My husband’s salary is roughly 6x what mine is and he works off of billable hours. Beyond the salary, he is often traveling or on calls that have been scheduled far in advance with people who also have tight schedules. I’m the one that takes off when the kids are sick. I think many parents have one default parent who takes off when the kids are sick. I don’t really care about taking unpaid sick leave if I need to, but I do care about my students being shuffled around if I’m out and about putting extra stress on my co-workers. FCPS doesnt seem to have done anything to discuss or address the sub shortage. And the sub shortage is not going away until they hire better people to staff the sub office, bring back higher pay for retired teachers, and raise sub pay in general. I’m far more worried about that than I am about getting covid.[/quote]
