Has anyone taken parental leave as a teacher?
My daughter is suffering from low mood and expressing suicidal thoughts and school (we are at the same place) said it was better for her to be at home for safety reasons. They have been brilliant (there are good schools out there!) and I was at home with my daughter the week before half term, with nothing other than supportive messages.
I might not need it, but if she is still not well enough to go back to school after half term my taking a week (or maybe two) as parental leave might be a better option for everyone. I know I can’t give the required 21 days notice but that can’t be helped for illness.
Anyone any experience in taking parental leave?
