Why should I get fired as a teacher if I only get sick once in a blue moon?

You should not be fired because you are ill. The District has some type of grounds for days ill - teacher personal says.. I know that they either do or should .. anyways. If you get fired because you are ill, then bring it to the media and I will support you to the fullest.

I've taught in 3 states, and I've always understood that teacher maternity leave is UNPAID.\n\nIf you have significant sick leave saved up, you can use that and it would allow you to be paid for as many days as you have saved up, and any remaining maternity leave would be unpaid.\n\nIf you're a teacher and you're considering getting pregnant, a good idea would be for you look into purchasing an Income Protection policy (such as offered by AFLAC or American Fidelity) which would give you replacement income during the time you are on leave and unpaid.\n\nGood luck to you!

...I don't exactly know...Though my teachers have said in the past that if it rains, or any thunder/lightning, or if there is dangerous weather (looming) that we should go inside. If it sprinkles, my teacher still made our class run- through the mud, too! That's why we have uniforms for p.e., so that when we wear our normal clothes, it wouldn't be all muddy and dirty- Though if it starts pouring, our teacher would tell us to go into the gym. I mean if the school is the cause of one's sickness because they got a cold from the rain or something, that's bad for the school/ ..Anyway, I think the rules vary from each school. I mean it can't be like extreme temperature- if it was snowing, or was like burning fire( eh, not really, we still stay out during the hot times)...but like yea.

Well, maybe this will help you feel better. On my first day of work I woke up sick, I had a 24 hour flu bug or something. I went to work anyway though because I didn't want to miss my first day of work. During the orientation meeting I had to get up three times to throw up and the worst part was that I was pale so the people I got hired with knew exactly why I was getting up. I ended up having to go home. Luckily the bosses weren't angry, they found it funny that it happened my first day and they felt bad for me too. I was afraid I was going to get fired. I've been there two months now. \nGood luck on your new job, you can't possibly have as bad of a day as I did.

Probably in US you can be fired for breathing. In New Zealand large numbers of workers belong to unions to protect their rights. You can't get fired immediately for that.

At first, yes - later no, cos the immune system gets to work\n\nSame for teachers... etc\n\nMind, if they drink too much or eat sumat bad, then I guess they would throw up just like anyone else :-)

get plenty of rest and drink lots of fluids. you want your body to be able to work hard on flushing out what made you sick

Calm down, Sweetie. Ask a teacher that you trust if he is sick. He could be on vacation. Sometimes parents don't always get vacation time from their jobs in the summer time. He could have had a death in his family. There are lots of reasons why he could be out of school. Have someone ask one of his friends if they know why he hasn't been there.

Probably just because of all thre children in schools together, especially around this time and right before feb. vacation. My children always get sicker during winter-including strep throat

I believe I would try to go to the doctor and explain that you did have what you thought was a self-diagnosed ear infection and stayed home for two weeks because of it.  It may cost you the price of an office visit but it may be worth it to save your grades.  I would think twice before taking any more time off of school for any reason, even if you feel sick in the future.  Let your teachers see that you are glad to be there and that you are going to be there, regardless.  Maybe if they see you exerting some effort, they will be less likely to request a doctor's note next time.  Good Luck.

if you get sick then there is not necessarily bacteria but some virus making you sick, you dont get sick just because God thinks its funny and actually the temp and all that dont have anything to do w/it you have to pick up a virus or a "bug" its just that they are more abundant in those settings and   because those settings bring down your immune system also because theres  more work for it to do in the winter time or allergy season.

NO WAY. and it cant be the same one because all bacteria are different. either you're a really sick person and catches different bacteria three times a month because of a weak immune system....or that cold just never stopped...it was going on and had three high peaks of its time....

you get sick all the time... little ones get sick all the time and spread the cheer.....

No! Your body needs all that energy to fight the bacterias, do try to avoid all kinds of vigourous activities until you're fine. Or your illness could just drag on longer.
