What do you think about the TEACHER taking time off for a vacation?

It's not the teacher's fault if the sub that they get isn't as good as the teacher herself. It may take a bit of time before a good full-time sub would be hired to cover for the teacher. That teacher's first concern should be to get better. I am in no way bashing subs, because let me tell you, there are great subs out there...I had quite a few when I was in school, however parents shouldn't blame the teacher if a sub is placed in their child's room that isn't the best.

Although I fully support the right of the teacher to be able to take personal days when they seem fit, having cancer and taking sick days is an entirely different subject. She's not taking mental health days, she's taking time off to save her life. There's a huge difference there.

Yes, it is up to the administration, not the teacher, to plan for forseeable contingencies with teacher absences. There is no blame, only concern.

No one is arguing with you about your second point.

I see what you mean. 11/20 posts about teachers.

Amazing, isn't it? Just seems like he/she has sour grapes about not becoming a teacher. I wonder what that he/she does for a living?

It was a joke.

Sometimes things are meant to be a joke but come across differently when written and not said.

Alas ... the problem w/the written word ... esp. that written on message boards. Thank heavens for emoticons. Maybe we need to use these more?

Wouldn't it be funny to have an entire post that consists of almost all emoticons? Sort of like those little stories that they used to (may still have, but I'm not sure) in Highlights magazine with a few words and then a picture!
