Oh Brother! We all suffer from stress why don't he/they write all of us excuse notes and just let the whole system collapse because nobody's around to do any work. Let us become a 3rd world country like most overseas because people are out there protesting this that or the other.
I imagine the people who are out of work because the unions are sucking up all the resources for themselves are stressed a lot more than these pansies are.
RE: were suffering from stress.
LOL, after 13 months in Iraq, I could tell these teachers a little bit about stress :-)
If true, that means that have officially been diagnosed with a mental illness and should have to undergo a detailed mental examination to ensure they are not a threat to themselves and others and that they can perform their duties as teacher.
