    Yes. I had a horrible cough last year but I would have missed all of January if I stayed out #bfc530. But fever or vomiting I stay home.
  • dawnkingCCPS Aug 31 @ 5:30 AM EDT
    Yes, our new teachers come 2 weeks early to explore content and all teachers come one week early. Room prep is only a very small part of the week. PD, meetings, and planning take place. #bfc530

    It depends on the sickness LOL. I teach high school, so students are much more aware and considerate about spreading germs. If I've got a cough and cold, etc., but I can still manage, I'm not taking the day off. My kids need my days when they're sick 1/2 #bfc530
  • MrsMues Aug 31 @ 5:32 AM EDT
    I’m thankful that getting sick tends to be pretty rare for me at this point. If I have a fever or other symptoms that might be contagious, I stay home. No one wants germs! #bfc530
  • casehighprinc Aug 31 @ 5:32 AM EDT
    Happy Friday #bfc530! Brin, HS principal from Massachusetts... Finessing first week of school and #1st3days ends with an all-school student rally this afternoon!
  • MrTravisDrake Aug 31 @ 5:32 AM EDT
    I have to be "not able to get out of bed sick" or "stuck in the bathroom sick" to not make it in. I only have 180 days with these students and every day matters. #bfc530
  • BAKetcham2009 Aug 31 @ 5:32 AM EDT
    A: I do. Sometimes it’s just easier for me to suffer. But if I’m out I have great teammates who look after my class. #bfc530
  • dawnkingCCPS Aug 31 @ 5:33 AM EDT
    This is my exact answer too! #bfc530

  • BrianHerb17 Aug 31 @ 5:33 AM EDT
    When I was teaching I rarely got sick. I guess getting exposed to middle school germs all year built up my immune system. But coming in sick was easier than planning for a sub, so... #bfc530
  • casehighprinc Aug 31 @ 5:33 AM EDT
    I refuse to be sick. #bfc530
  • kmichellehowell Aug 31 @ 5:33 AM EDT
    I guess it depends—cold, tough it out and teach. Bring lots of tea and peppermints. Anything more icky? Stay home. No one wants to see that! #bfc530
  • GruntledChalkie Aug 31 @ 5:34 AM EDT

    All depends on what kind of sick. I think I’ve only ever called on because of a migraine #bfc530
  • oonziela Aug 31 @ 5:34 AM EDT
    Also, when you teach high school, you can often re-arrange lesson plans and students are far more understanding and cooperative because of their age. You can't be all, "let's just read or work quietly ALL day" with, like, first grade. LOL #BFC530

    I’m an insulin dependent diabetic, so a respiratory flu or stomach virus can hit me pretty hard. I prevent as much as I can by washing hands, getting the flu shot, etc. but I really appreciate when colleagues and students can stay home with vomiting, diarrhea, or a fever. #bfc530

  • ChrisQuinn64 Aug 31 @ 5:35 AM EDT
    Believe it or not, over my 28 years as a professional educator, I was forced to take one week of time off due to chicken pox in my second year. Other than that, I have probably used 3-4 sick days my entire career. I feel blessed! #bfc530 #gratefuledu

  • Pen63 Aug 31 @ 5:35 AM EDT
    Today is the first day I’m using a sick day - for myself - in awhile (minor surgery). BUT if I had an awesome LMS I could’ve taken more that I needed *earlier* on in my career! I HATED going in early to get class ready for me not to be there. 🤷‍♀️ #bfc530

    #BFC530 Good Morning Peeps! I’m late to the convo! I stay home if I feel bad. It’s very rare for me!

    I did have the flu many years ago and was out for a week #bfc530
  • bhall_acs Aug 31 @ 5:36 AM EDT
    Good Morning #bfc530 In 15 years, I’ve probably taken less than 5 days for me actually being sick. Most have been for sick children or parents. It’s much harder to absent than it is to push through when your not feeling well. Exception if contagious.

    Vitamins and probiotics for my whole family are a must, as well as flu shots. We live in a densely populated area, and during the winter months, school is like a petri dish. I side hug and kiss my children on the top of their heads from November through May. ;-) #BFC530

  • gilkatgil Aug 31 @ 5:36 AM EDT
    It depends on how sick I am! If I’m very sick, or if my youngest child is sick, I stay home. Otherwise, it’s far too much work and the disruption isn’t worth it. #bfc530

    This is my 4th yr, and I’ve taken two sick days-both were after crawling out of bed and making it in for a couple of days before giving in and visiting urgent care & realizing I wasnt helping anyone by the martyrdom 🙄😂. Time is so tight & a good sub day takes thought... #bfc530
  • biologygoddess Aug 31 @ 5:37 AM EDT

  • CristinaDajero Aug 31 @ 5:37 AM EDT
    It’s sad to say that it’s sometimes more work to take a sick day than if you just went in. I have often gone in when I wasn’t feeling 100%. I have to do better of putting myself 1st and no one wants or needs whatever you have when you’re sick #BFC530
  • edumichellefinn Aug 31 @ 5:37 AM EDT
    It depends on the sickness. If I’m throwing up I do not go in but if it’s a cold I will. It’s hard because of sub plans and just losing days w kids so I try to miss as little as possible. #bfc530

  • MrTravisDrake Aug 31 @ 5:38 AM EDT
    Getting pulled for some kind of school Improvement plan or new vendor training takes me out of the classroom more than being sick (and I have to create sub plans for that too). #bfc530
  • MsCommins205 Aug 31 @ 5:38 AM EDT
    #bfc530 I have gone to work with a migraine, which was really hard. I have also gone in on little to no sleep. We have a very structured curriculum. Falling behind is so hard.

    When that hits, there is no mercy! Last winter, two of my kids had the flu when my husband was away for two weeks on business, my kids had the week of President's Day off, and I didn't. I found a sitter who would watch sick kids. That was an expensive week. #BFC530

    When sick, I stay home. The goal is taking good care of myself- balancing work with fun, eating right, exercising, feeding my faith, and maintaining an overall healthy lifestyle to prevent getting sick as much as possible. #bfc530
  • bridget_adam Aug 31 @ 5:39 AM EDT
    Honestly...I try to go to work no matter what. Learning pauses if I’m out, and it is a lot of extra work to create plans and go back to school with piles of paper that need to be graded. #bfc530

  • ESL_fairy Aug 31 @ 5:39 AM EDT
    True. It feels like more work to be off. It helps to make generic emergency supply plans that you can leave in your room or mailbox. I also started doing week at a glance dayplans that are on google docs, to make it easier to quickly share with a sub. #bfc530

    Most of the time yes. It's less work to go in sick & give my Ss an independent work period to practice whatever we're working on than to make up good lesson plans for a sub. I have to be REALLY sick to stay home. #bfc530
  • DeannaToxopeus Aug 31 @ 7:00 AM EDT
    Yes. It is a lot of work to prep for a supply. Go in sick and you can come home fast and rest up. In addition, the current supply teacher shortage means that I am most likely not being replaced. I don’t like imposing on my colleagues like that. #bfc530
