How many of you already used their 10 "sick days" What happens if you take a sick day and your not sick? Will they do anything to you? Since they cant fire you what will they do? for the 5 personal days same question

Probably the same thing that happens at any other jobs. Why is everyone so obsessed over teachers jobs and pay? I don’t get it.

Because If I take a lot of days off, after I used my vacation and sick days I'll get fired. You guys are union and can't get fried. I can only use 3 sicks day in a row. After the 4th one I need a doctor notes.

Once again: your - belonging to you. Example: That is your house. You're - contraction of you are. Example: You're not sick. Yore - a long time ago. Example : In days of yore, people did not have automobiles. Grammar much?

In addition to your lack of copy, paste, and grammar skills, you also are ignorant of labor laws. The Commonwealth of Virginia is a right to work state and has been since 1947. This means that in most cases, after due process, teachers may be fired at will. There are unions, but they don’t have much they can do.

You cannot possibly be educated or employed. The amount of time you have spent on this issue indicates that you have nothing else to focus on, no job to keep you busy. The inherent jealousy of lousy salaries proves your lack of an education. Keep it coming. It is nightly entertainment at your expense.

No union here uneducated jackass.. I love it, please, free entertainment. You would get fired because you suck at a shitty job. You are replaceable. There are people who are good at jobs in private companies that get paid "extra bonuses" not to take jobs with the competition. I have a friend that works for a bank that made enough money that he wanted to take a year off work. They said sure and gave him 250,000 will the agreement that he would return in 12 months and sign a contract saying he would not work for anybody else. So he he wet to Vegas for a year. Think he's bitching about teacher salaries?

You are a loser.

serious butthurt. What a bore.

Big misconception that teachers can’t be fired. Most run on 3 year contracts and get evaluated at the end. If you’re lucky, Gatehouse won’t have hired an incompetent or wayward principal that makes this extremely difficult for you. New teachers are evaluated every year for the first 3 years and it is a lengthy and complicated ordeal. Also, there aren’t any teacher unions in FC. Instead, there are teacher associations that you can pay to be a part of and that provide advice and representation when needed. Being a teacher in the county is a very tough job. While the recently released salaries show that we do make some money, keeping all of the extra work duties in mind, we are underpaid. I don’t say that lightly.

Don’t agree? Go to school for six years and try it on for size. Oh- and make sure that you go for at least six because you won’t be receiving a raise anymore if you only have a bachelors degree.

OP is obviously a disgruntled loser ex FCPS employee who was fired due to poor performance. Ignore the fucking loser and his drunken (Reason he was fired) Posts.

The teachers I know definitely take these days off...they

consider these days an entitlement and use them as such (they take them just for a day off as personal days and not for being sick exclusively). My only interest is that I am not on the public dole and my hard earned (read - I actually have to go to work in bad weather, during holidays, summers, etc in order to get paid)... and I am sick of paying for public workers who don't work a 40 hour week, work about 180 days a year, have over the top generous benefit packages (holidays, personal days, teacher days, late sleep in days, bad weather days, 2 hour early release days, etc.) while private industry has lost medical leave, holidays, etc. and we only get paid for "butts in seats" hours worked... and taboot, without pensions and all the perks that the entitled gov worker/teacher does. Yes I am a disgruntled hard working taxpayer who gets up every day in bad weather to travel to work or I'd be fired...while the public servants sleep in, drink coffee, play in snow, etc. Makes absolutely no sense to me and time for some accountability on FCPS.

Public servants is a misnomer... these days it's Private Servants (taxpayers) paying for the public sector. Crazy.

I work for the county government, not the schools. It is nearly impossible to run out of sick leave. Once you max your vacation hours then all your vacation hours convert to sick leave until you use some vacation time. I have 5 months of sick leave saved up plus 3 weeks of vacation. When someone does get really sick like cancer or something we all pitch in and donate a day of sick leave to the victim. Last guy that needed it got too many hours donated and he died before he could use it all, they had to give us back 3 hours each.
County employees stick together.

Once again: nobody cares.

Keep it going Taxpayer 1. The irrational anger to your great public service is quite telling. Nice!

I have 1970 + hours of sick/personal leave. Why? Because I never take all the leave accrued each year. There are many other teachers who do as well. The OP seems to think that all we do is plan when not to be in school, when many of us come in deadly ill because we don’t want to leave our students with a sub. As another poster commented, Virginia is a right to work state. That means the so-called teacher unions are no more than professional associations. They cannot collectively bargain. So before you make allegations, check your facts.

What facts would you like us to check? Almost all FCPS teachers are members of one of the two unions. Is that true or not? If you come into school with a contagious illness, you are a fool. You do your students nothing but harm by doing that. I don't know what the percentage is now, but 8 years ago 98% of FCPS teachers returned every year to teach (not including retirements) according to a published report. If you figure that half of the remaining 2% were terminated (and that's being generous), that means only 1% of teachers were let go the previous year.

If they stopped the social engineering and forced non-English speakers into special schools to immerse them in US History and communicating in the language of this country, they'd go a long way towards demonstrating they are more than just a baby sitting service that has a side gig of pushing a liberal agenda on social and civic matters to our kids.

Public sector industry has largely eliminated off days for illness.... you have to use vacation days if you're not feeling well. And being that we don't get winter 2 week vacation, spring break week, every holiday known to mankind, summers off, snow days, sleep in days, work well over an 8 hour day without compensation, no pension, etc, no one wants to use their 10 vacation days for illness. Teachers need to get off the gravy train...who has a job working 35 weeks of year with salaries in 80's, 90's, 100K? I am so disgusted that my hard earned actually worked for tax dollars are being squandered on a bunch of whiney, entitled, holier than thou school teachers. I did not vote for Trump... and consider myself a Democrat, but reading these salaries with all the perks is disgusting. Chris Christie is on to something when he goes against entitled teachers. And teachers, why don't you encourage students to go into education...it's more lucrative than most jobs out there in private sector.

It is not true, your facts are not correct. Virginia is a right to work state. Teachers are fired all the time. There are no such unions. It is true that you are stupid and have a job shittier than teaching. That does suck for you. It is however very entertaining to me.

The only point you have proven is that you have a shitty job and you are jealous of others. I you weren’t such a loser you would be able to attain a job you would be happy with. You are clearly demonstrating that you suck at life, please keep sharing...

We do not have a union ass wipe

Where's your proof 'tard? Teachers are very rarely fired.

As far as no unions...LOL Parsing the word union vs. association is lame. Very lame. Look at their websites. They use the word 'union' everywhere and have links to union propaganda.

I will myself to not get sick.

When I do get sick, I go to work and get all the students sick.

I can then nap in the empty classroom.

Please stop saying 'teachers'
It reminds me of Arthur Treacher's
I miss those delicious crispy fillets
Woe, those were the days

Teachers get 10 days. 5 are sick 5 are personal. If a teacher doesn’t use their days they all roll over to become sick leave. If teachers run out of sick leave/ personal days they have to take leave without pay.

Do they ever stop accruing or carry over from year to year? Most companies I've worked for have a cap on the amount of PTO you can build up; at a certain point you would just not bank any more leave.

Leave accrues (I have about 1,050 hours of leave), but it can't be used in huge chunks. A max of 5 days per year can be used as personal leave. There is also a limit to the number of sick before "proof" is required and it has to be reported to short term disability.

Where the hell do you people get your info? I teach at a private school in alexandria and pull just under 50k hence poor as fuck. Not every teacher works for fcps. Our jobs are also pretty much the opposite of what you think they are. The grass is always greener.now, commence more name calling and arthur treacher trolling....eye roll.
