ok..I need some help. Tomorrow, the honor roll kids are going on a field trip. I am not going, but 3 people out of my area are. While they are having fun all day, I have to cover my class PLUS theirs...AT THE SAME TIME! I am mad and have made up my mind I am calling in sick. I have never called in before, in the 4 years I have been teaching. How would you go about it, what excuse would you use? I can easily get a dr's note if needed. I honestly do no think it is fair and there are a lot of other things I need to do other than babysit these groups. You can only imagine what the kids left behind are like!!!
