Well, you gotta understand, those teaches were either stoned, sick due to their sexual activities (love party flu), or they forgot the safeword and were still tied up in personal engagements thenext morning...

Fire teachers who don’t want to teach.
If they aren’t serious enough about the job to actually be there, then they don’t need that job.
Of note, Fridays and the day before Thanksgiving are apparently favorites for having sudden illness or taking a personal day.
But seems like the teachers are taking the heat for the four or so days that the district either requires or encourages teachers to be absent from class as part of training.
When I find them, I’m going to send them to reform school!

“You’re like a San Francisco School Teacher......No class!”
Please. Have some empathy. Don’t you know that teachers work 24 hours a day and give back all of their earnings to buy their students pencils and paper?
My parents were both civil servants for NYC back in the day. My mother at one point told us she had something like 60 days a year she could take off, between holidays, sick time, and vacation.
I might not be remembering the number exactly right, but it was a boat-load of days.
My brothers and I (young working adults at that time) were shocked.
My SIL was a special education teacher. She lost her job because she couldn’t keep up with the required governmental paperwork and still put out a decent lesson plan for her students. She would take vacation and sick time just to stay home and do her government work, which averaged 3-4 hours per night in her classroom which had too many students.
Are there bad teachers? Sure. Are there good teachers we don’t hear about who are overburdened by government? Absolutely.
