It’s True of Everyone Here

Do you get paid for the unused sick days???

They give you a certain amount of dollar credit that is used toward the teacher co-payment portion of your health insurance when you are retired or you can take a cash amount that comes out to about $15 for every unused sick day.

Yikes..you better use those days..you could use them and take almost a year off..anyway you're over 50 so aren't you close to retirement?

I constantly call in sick to go skiing . . . In fact, that's pretty much the only reason that I use sick days. I like to use vacation days for actual vacations.

As far as the original question . . . Ummm . . . Everybody thinks that Hitler was not a good person?

In response to #1, what about noski?

Thanks for thinking of me. I really do mess this poll up, don't I? Let's see. I do love the outdoors; I do check SB/MRG websites over the non skiing months; and If it wasn't for skiing, I wouldn't live here, and I would likely not have a job- so I am dependant on all of you who ski MRV- Thank you!; I have never called in sick for anything other than being (really) sick, and that is seldom. edit: oh, and I HAVE had a ski lesson!

Everyone here likes to make gross generalizations.

For my job I just call in "I'm goin' skiing" but I can get away with that........my Father taught school for 34yrs-----they gave him an award when he retired for NEVER calling in sick and only using 2 person days during his career.

That’s amazing..
My father taught for 32 years too and maybe he would take 1 day a year when we was really sick. He was a Naval Officer, totally honorable, never lied, and always did the right thing. He had 360+ sick days saved up. He did use a couple of month’s worth on his last year for an unplanned operation so sometimes it will work out to have those days saved.
All of the younger teachers were using exactly the allotted sick days per year until they had a "talking to" by the superintendant. It was just too much coincidence that they would be sick exactly the allotted days.

Only been working for a little over 3 years, but have yet to use a sick day for anything. Kind of pointless when you live in Jersey, imho, as a powder day at Camelback or Mt. Creek, though I'm sure = fun, doesn't seem worth the risk to me.

Now if I got caught in Vermont on a sunday night and they were predicting 12+ inches for sunday night into monday...that might be the only situation where I'd consider it. Hasn't happened yet to me.
