When teachers encounter illness and need to take time off work during the teaching process, they may encounter some frustrating problems. Despite the efforts of teachers to educate their students, their requests for leave are often not understood or cared for. In this article, we will go through the complaints of teachers to ** the principal's incomprehension of teachers asking for leave, and the reasons behind this phenomenon.
The professionalism of the teachers who chose to stick to their posts and work hard in the face of the actual situation is worthy of our admiration. However, when the teacher had a fever of 40 degrees and was in critical condition, he received an indifferent response from the principal. The principal's first sentence turned out to be about the course arrangement, not about the health of the teachers. This indifference and incomprehension of the teacher is disappointing.
However, we cannot blame the principal entirely on the issue of teacher leave. In fact, the curriculum and substitute teaching issues involved in teacher leave are indeed what schools need to deal with. However, the school does not seem to be providing enough support and assistance on this issue. Teachers have had to handle the scheduling of classes and substitutes on their own, and have been asked to do so on their own while they are in the hospital. Teachers face tremendous pressure and dilemma, but they still choose to persevere and do their best to fulfill their responsibilities.
Why would the principal not support a sick teacher?On the one hand, it is difficult for the school to find a suitable substitute teacher. Since each teacher has a large workload, it is difficult to find another teacher to replace one teacher when he or she takes a leave of absence. This is one of the reasons why teachers insist on completing all the lessons of the day before leaving.
On the other hand, the transfer of classes is a complex process that requires the coordination of several departments involved. As principals, they may be reluctant to take on the coordination task and better let teachers solve problems on their own. In addition, some sick teachers are not easy to talk to, and they may have a bad opinion of the substitute teacher. The school wants to avoid this awkward situation by allowing teachers to find substitute teachers themselves and solve the problem through personal relationships.
However, teachers tend to experience more stress and dilemmas in such situations. Schools place the responsibility of substitute teaching on teachers, but this does not make sense to provide a good education. School leaders should take more responsibility to provide better support and assistance to teachers.
Judging from the comments of netizens, the issue of teachers' leave has attracted widespread attention and discussion. Everyone complained about the school's inhumane handling of teachers' leave, and even caused unfair treatment and pressure on teachers. They brought the issue to the fore by sharing their own experiences or those of the teachers around them.
A netizen shared her experience, saying, "Once, I needed to have an operation and took three days off. When I asked the principal for leave, the first thing the principal said was: "Why are you having surgery at this time?"Another netizen said: "The teachers in our school have never asked for leave when they have a fever, so they can only insist on attending classes." Once, a young teacher had a fever of mycoplasma pneumonia for two weeks, but he still insisted on attending classes every day, correcting homework, preparing for classes, and teaching in open classes, etc., without taking a single break. In the end, the whole office of the teachers was recruited. I can't take leave, I don't dare to ask for leave, the teacher is too full, you have to make up for the work after taking a day off, it will make you vomit!These true stories reveal the dilemma and frustration of teachers when it comes to taking time off.
From the question of teachers' leave, we can see the difficulties and limitations behind the principal's behavior. Of course, this is not to excuse the behaviour of principals, who still need to think about how to better support and help teachers. Educational institutions should realize that teachers are already overloaded and can no longer bear additional pressure. Schools should establish a more reasonable and fair system for teachers to ask for leave, ensure that teachers are physically and mentally healthy, and provide adequate substitute teaching support.
In addition, educational institutions should give more authority and responsibility to the Respenders and Deans of Registrar to involve and coordinate faculty absence, rather than just issuing class schedules and scheduling teachers. Schools need to provide better solutions to the problem of teachers taking time off so that teachers are not treated unfairly for health reasons.
Finally, we also call on teachers to pay attention to their health and bravely fight for their rights. Educators are the mainstay of society, and they deserve the care and treatment they deserve. Only by taking the physical health of teachers as the foundation can we better contribute to the education of students.
