Don't you just love when a parent comes in to say that they're going on vacation for more than a week and need all of the worksheets/activities we'll be doing right this minute? I'm just trying to prepare for tomorrow! How many teachers have all of thei copies made for weeks in advance????

I would simply say...Have a nice vacation,

They know when the school calendar has breaks.

Parents are gonna do what they’re gonna do....so have a plan for this laid out in your management plan so parents understand what your expectations are in situations like this. Require, for example, 2 weeks advance notice if they want the work up front; if they don’t comply, the student receives the work upon return.

I state up front at the beginning of the year that if you take a vacation, you can pick up missed work when you return

How do you manage going back into public accounting as a first time mom?

I just got an offer (woo!) and was planning on signing it tomorrow AM and giving my two weeks. Problem is two weeks from tomorrow is the 2nd. I have the 1st and the 2nd scheduled off as PTO. I already have a 4th of July trip booked and need those days off. Is it rude to not be able to give a full two weeks? How should I make note of that when I give my two weeks tomorrow?

Thanks!

I just recently resigned my teaching position for a position in another state to be closer to family. I will be making a lot less money (about 1/2 as much).
