Hit piece attacking Teachers for taking their allotted sick days

Insane. CPS teachers receive 10 days of paid sick leave and 3 personal days and they’re essentially being called deadbeats for using them. It’s hard to imagine other professions being shamed for using their allotted benefit time.

I’ve seen this same article posted on multiple Chicago-based subreddits with commenters acting like we’re entitled brats with the cushiest job in the world because we get planning periods where we’re not directly leading instruction and gasp lunch breaks that make the school day even shorter!

I guess this is what the public really thinks of us.
