that with unemployment so high there would be a plethora of substitute teachers. Apparently not! Second week in a row I have done sub plans so I could attend an all day training and no sub.
One of the sucky things about teaching - sub plans. You can't just call in sick or take a day because you feel like it. I have 103 sick days!I could take 2/3 of a school year off!

It's all relative. We have several universities here with education programs. There are definitely more people who want to be subs than they have room to hire.

Veronica- I have almost as many sick days as you. And as retirement is getting closer, realize that I will not get that many of them paid to me - only about 1/3. But I hate being gone and writing lesson plans so I almost never take my days off.
Fortunately, we usually have subs available...2016 Specialized Ruby Comp disc - Ruby Expert ti 155

my silly school district caps you at 60 sick days. You can't accumulate more than that. When you hit 60 sick days in the bank you lose them if you don't use them. I'm at 44. Hmmm...
