This week I came down with a sore throat and had
to take a sick day to recover. This is
usually not a problem, you just take a sick day, right? But, it was the week after exams and also the
week grades were due and because of some student absences right before exam
week, I was bogged down with trying to get grades up to date and complete my
gradebook.
Basically, it was not a good time to take a
day off. For some teachers, there
actually never is a good day to take off.
Here is a funny meme that encompasses this vey thought:
And another:
Okay, so maybe these are some very funny
exaggerations. But, there actually is a
good amount of truth to these memes. I
wonder how many jobs this is true for… this concept of “I’d rather just gut
through being at work and not feeling well rather than making sub plans and then
hoping the sub plans are actually completed and then grading the work you had
the students do in your absence.” UGH. I read that sentence and I would rather just
go to work!
So just don’t ever get sick if you a teacher
during the school year and you will be fine.
I mean, it’s not like you are around tons of people and countless germs
all day!
