Hypothetically, if you're district was taking ONE day from your Spring vacation so instead of 10 days off, you get 2 days off, 1 day on then 7 off. Many kids will be absent that day as families do make plans. However, it's "expected" all staff treat it as a regular work day. Union states TPTB can give some staff off upon request but they tend to panic. The kids will all be fine at this hypothetical school. It's small (<300) and they have to do without a nurse when nurse is floated or is out sick anyway.
Amazing, super opportunity comes up to take an almost free vacation but it would mean missing that one day of work. It could be potentially covered with documentation.
Also adding that hypothetically you and your traveling companion have been through hell the past year and still going through quite a bit. This would do wonders for both of your spirits.
My general attitude about life is that I have devoted it and continue to do so to my career. I also feel that family and loved ones, quality of life are all a priority. I think there is a balance in there and sometimes trying to find it is tricky. I hope this is clear (as mud). WWYD?
