[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please remember, some of this need comes from teacher training --it is not all illness or personal leave.[/quote]

And even if it is illness and personal leave would you rather teachers burn out and have a huge staff turnover every year? [/quote]

You certainly missed the point here.  I pointed out that much of this was from teacher training -not condemning use of sick leave or personal leave.
The system owes the teachers that--rightly.  But, the system is encouraging and demanding too many days of teacher training when the kids are in school.

If every teacher in a school misses ONE day during the year for training, with a staff of 30 teachers, that would be 30 days of subs.  This is happening in most schools--and many schools have staffs far larger than 30 teachers.  Those are subs that could be in the classroom for sick teachers.

It has been a long time (years) since I have been pulled from the classroom for training. I can’t think of the last time.[/quote]
