Don’t abuse it. I’ve seen some crazy high phone bills due to international usage - primarily data but voice too. Limit your calls and turn your data off and use WiFi whenever possible. You don’t want to get questioned about a high bill and have to explain you were on vacation.

I did but not to much

I’ve always done it, and it is explicitly allowed within reason. I don’t use my hotspot (much) unless it’s for work, and I don’t stream Netflix or videos. That’s always kept my bill at a reasonable level and far below what triggers any kind of questions.

A parent of one of my students told admin she thinks it's irresponsible that I won't be grading over Christmas break. I let the students know to get any work they need graded in before the break and I'll get it to it during our workdays in January. Apparently that's not fast enough for her 🙄. Is it wrong that I'm sort of pissed off by this? Should I say something?
