We're Sick of This!

What does a teacher have to do to get a sick day!? Welcome back to Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers! Our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon are absolutely sick of how teachers' sick days are being handled. Apparently teachers have been calling out sick too much, so schools are really cutting down on sick days, which adds even more stress to the already taxing job of teaching. From lesson plans to the constant pressure of keeping up with your students, being an educator is an extremely demanding profession. So this week we are talking about the best ways that teachers can let off some steam out of the classroom, but is it that easy to leave the classroom behind? Yea it would be great to play marvel rivals after school, but after making food and settling down, would it be better to just hit the sack because we got to do it all again tomorrow? Now what happens when the stress becomes too much? Well apparently teachers have been getting in trouble for calling in sick too often. We have gotten word about this one instance where a teacher got fired for calling in sick. But was this teacher really playing hooky or were they dealing with a legitimate health issue?
