Most teachers receive a set number of paid sick days (around 10 to 12) and personal days (between one and five) each year. There are rules associated with taking these days off — three or more sick days in a row often requires a doctor's note, for example — and any extra days come out of our pay.

However, these conversations usually center around 9-to-5 jobs with flexible or generous vacation leave and don't usually include careers that follow different PTO systems. Teachers have historically been left out of these conversations, because there's a prevailing belief that we already get enough time off. Add to that having to overcome the guilt of leaving our students, and the fact that we can actually lose money by taking personal time, and it becomes easy to go your entire career without ever taking a day off work.

Read More »I typically work 11 hours on a school day and about six hours during the weekends. I spend the evenings grading and preparing for the next day, and weekends working on new material and curricula. The majority of teachers are working well beyond their scheduled hours and some are even going in on the weekends — there just isn't enough time to get everything done otherwise. Despite this, teachers shouldn't be expected to prove that they've earned the time off — all people, regardless of their career paths, deserve to have lives and experiences outside of their work.

Read More »Some districts are doing what they can to support teachers in taking time off — my school district supports teachers taking personal days and offers more time off than I've ever seen — but it's hard to enjoy a day off when you feel guilty about what's happening while you're gone. Teachers are leaving because they're burnt out. Taking one day off a semester to recharge may be what I need to stay in the profession long term. This past semester, I took the first personal day I've ever taken for fun (I'd been required to take them before for conferences or because of the frequent plane delays that are common in bush Alaska). A friend was visiting my village and I wanted to spend time with him and show him around, so I prepared the requisite lesson plans and made it happen. I reminded myself that my students were where they needed to be academically and that I'd be in a better place to support them if I took some time for myself. Perhaps the way to fix the current teacher shortage is to advocate for teachers to care for themselves first — to teach them to put on their oxygen masks first, before assisting others. In the changing landscape of work-life balance, we've already made so many strides in advocating for time off, and I know that taking personal days is definitely less stigmatized than it was just a few years ago. Everyone deserves a break, and we shouldn't judge anyone who takes time for themselves. Employers offer personal days, PTO, and other breaks for a reason — we do our jobs better when we've had a chance to rest and recharge.
