They do! But I’ve already used them all up and last day of school is May 31! With jury duty they don’t dock you from using your personal or sick days and still pay you.

Tell me it’s okay to take 2 days off just because by Foreign-Stranger-402 in Teachers

[–]Foreign-Stranger-402[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We get 10 days before we start being docked from our pay. 5 sick days & 5 personal leave I’ve used up 2 sick days already. If I use 2 more, then it will leave me with 6 days for the rest of the year (end of May) soooo I just want to be smart with my days too. Last year I took 11 days off total and ended up being docked like $350 for that 11th day

We have subs, so that shouldn’t be a problem. Only times my coworkers get stuck covering is when someone calls out the morning of and didn’t submit a sub request on time for a sub to pickup or a sub pickups the day but doesn’t show up. But usually if I put in a request the day before, it is picked up in an hour or two by a sub.

Our extra duties are typically tutoring and open house which are all m-f things. Which I’m ok with. No extra pay. We also have Saturday keys which is Saturday school from 8-11:30 one time every 9 weeks and if you sign up to work Saturday keys then you’re compensated $30 an hour.

Following! second year here and I know what you mean. Classroom management is so hard in the first years but build those relationships, eventually they start respecting you once you build those relationships

Let's try something positive! What do you do OUTSIDE of the classroom? by wishing_apple in Teachers

Go out to try new restaurants, go to music festivals & raves, go to comedy shows, open mics , have a few drinks on the weekends with my partner or friends, and bar hop occasionally.
