A high school English teacher in Ohio is facing termination after she allegedly called out of work sick for two days to attend a concert in Nashville, Tennessee, district records show.
That’s funny because my kids’ teachers all said no matter what we were actually doing, to just call the kids in as “sick”. Even if it was something else that was an excused absence. Sick was always the right answer.
My dad said for time off work, always say “urgent personal business” and leave it at that.
There’s this third party hotline we use to call in so it’s kind of separated in that they may not know our actual policy. Regardless anyone that has personal time knows what it’s for.
I called to use a personal day. “Hi I’m calling off for my shift tomorrow. I want to use a personal holiday.”
“Ok, why are you calling off?”
“Because I’m using a personal holiday. I have 30 hours left I want to use 10 tomorrow please.”
“Ok I have you for 10 hours personal holiday I just need a reason”
“I don’t need to provide a reason. It’s a personal holiday. As long as it’s no less than 8 hours before my shift, I just tell you guys I want to use a personal holiday. I don’t have to provide a reason.”
“So you don’t want to provide a reason?”
“No, thank you.”
That was basically the end of the conversation but I was just like “holy fuck lady please just stop” at the end. No one gives reasons for vacation days and personal holidays. Sick days ( if you’re lucky enough to have sick time) are implied. Even if I called off, didn’t have time to use and ate points, are you going to give me less points if I provide a reason? No. We’re not going to do that. We’re just being fucking nosey.
That’s my go to lul. After a while I just need to rub my stomach and they know what I mean. They all think I’m a fat pos with a shit diet. Little do they know I actually eat really healthily and have been losing weight. I just like mental health days.

Also if they question the details, a mention of explosive diarrhea stops the questions very quickly.

I’m not sure why this is getting upvoted aside from the snowball effect.
I’ve never had a teacher say what your “teachers” have said.
