 I don't think that I was whining - simply stating why I've taken less sick days this year.  Teaching is not a job that you can come in a little late and stay longer to make up the time - you are either  there the entire time or you have to get a sub. I actually want to be in my classroom teaching my students as much as possible. I feel most teachers in Cobb feel the same way. I work with some amazing teachers and my own children's teachers blow me away. They are incredible and I feel blessed to live in a county with such dedicated teachers. The citizens oif Douglas might feel differently since I believe Mrs. Bartlett was out close to 25 days last year.

- you believe? you know? source? rumor-mongering? busy body perhaps?

- another teacher on this board is throwing out the 35 day number

I am a clerk in the front office.  I noticed fewer teachers taking time off for appointments.  I really believe that CC would save a lot of substitute money.  I agree with you whole heartedly...I work with some amazing teachers. Our teachers loved the balanced calendar!
