maccaroni man Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 often times we here of teachers not going to school because they "just did not feel up to it", or because of "personal problems" and this makes we wonder if these teachers ever think about the fall out from their missing class? What are the acceptable guidelines between teachers for being absent from class? Are their any and does anyone ever speak out to the teachers who miss class for reasons beyond being too sick to teach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netfan Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 We have a lot of part timers who cancel classes all the time. Administration doesn't care, so why should they? We (they - admins) have moved towards hiring more and more part-timers to save on benefits, holiday pay, etc. They get what they get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrnosey Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I've worked in Thai companies where local employees have gone missing for a week and then come up with some lame excuse. It seems that Thais don't operate the same way as we do in the west when in comes to these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeaceBlondie Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I was often the only farang, and had to cover for a few Thais, who had reasons for absences, such as slapping her ex-husband (another teacher!) on campus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihunnieibee Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 (edited) lol...my teacher missed the first week of school....horrible, isnt it??? he/she had said that she sent an email out to all the students notifying them....i didn't get anything.................... it's the first week of school...how could he/she even know if everyone knew how to opperate the school email etc... I really don't think he/she really sent the email because the class was FULL of students which I'M SURE that more than 50% have checked their student email and didn't recieve anything... whatever..it's just irresponsible.. maybe my teacher reads this forum =) Edited August 17, 2009 by ihunnieibee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ijustwannateach Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 We already have a topic in recent posts discussing use and misuse of sick days; furthermore, this topic assumes a large group of teachers are culpable and irresponsible, and thus violates subforum guidelines.
