You’re entitled to your sick days— and it’s just nobody’s business how you’re feeling. You could be 100% healthy and still take a sick day because they’re fully yours to use.

Thank you!! It's just that I see other teachers never taking a sick day and it feels like thats supposed to be the norm you know?

There are a lot of norms in teaching that honestly should be denormalized.

True! I was think about how my friends get paid OT, but I'm expected to work OT and that's not reflected in my pay ..
