Sick Leave

They still expect you to somehow work even when you are sick.

There are no specific "sick days." If you are feeling ill and decide to call out, you are met with a barrage of texts and phone calls berating you for calling out and demanding that you return to work. The same is said if you need to call out due to your child's illness. This happens even if you or your child are hospitalized. If you or your child comes into the school and suddenly falls ill, you will not be allowed to go home and must work the remainder of your shift. A coworker's son came down with a high fever during the school day, and the director wanted her son to remain in the office until his mother's shift was finished rather than send the two of them home.
