LOL! Maybe they'll appoint a commission. The Democrats will be up in arms if anything serious is done. In the end NOTHING will be done except, perhaps, a symbolic handful of scapegoats made into public pariahs with the help of the liberal press.
Driven by parental concerns about teacher absenteeism...
The teacher union does not a problem with teacher no-shows...
nor does the union seem to care if the students learn anything.
I wonder if it counts or doesn't count the times that teachers attend certain conferences. Six percent is actually less than the rate at my wife's computer job. She takes about 10-12 sick days a year herself.
As an employer the easy solution is to pay people at the end of the year for all but, say 3, unused sick days.
Not that hard.
(You do need to have a few sick days for which people won't get paid; otherwise, you'll get people coming in with the flu.)
