DD's bloody teacher is now into her 3rd week off sick with a farking cold!!!!!!

[suwoo]

DD in year 2 so SATS year. Her teacher is now into her 3rd week off, she supposedly has a cold. Methinks either she is suffering with something far more serious and possibly private ie depression/stress or she is a fucking lazy bitch. I am not one of the mums wailing about in the playground as DD is fine, but its just a bit . How much will the supply teacher be getting about £200 per day- bet he's loving it!

agree with slayerette, come on suwoo has already seen the error of her OP

I had time off work, when teaching, in the past for some suprious reasn such as a cold - I had actually had a miscarry.

I had 2 weeks off with a "blister" - actually what had happened was the infection from a blister had gone up my leg tomy groin and I was at home with my leg strapped up and raised, and regular trips for injected abs.

No longer teaching now, but still in education where I miss seeing clients if not there - last academic year I had 17 weeks off sick. My sick not just sais "post op" after two pretty minor ops. I didn't tell my clients any reason at all, and only told work "post op". I had had two gynae ops with heavy duty hormone stuff afterwards - and didn't want t have to disclose all details.

YABU but I think you have already realised that.

I suspect the excuse possibly started off as "she has a cold" esp if they thought she may only be off for a short period of time (I had expected to be off work no longer than a week after my first op for example) and then time has gone on and no one has corrected the reason with another one (even if not the truth).

The OP has apologised and been pretty decent about taking it on the chin IMO did no-one see that?!
