Yep poor teachers cop it all the time but the thing is we dont get a day off. You are expected to provide all your lesson plans and materials for someone to be able to walk in and take your class. This usually means dragging yourself into work early in the morning to set everything up for the day then crawling home again. I teach about 150 kids per day on average and there is always one or two who are sick and should be home in bed rather then spreading germs all over the place. Parents seem to think it is fine to send their kids to school sick and it's not, it just spreads like wildfire and everyone ends up crook. In many cases not even the fluvax can protect you.
