In Episode 13 of Playing Teacher, we pull back the curtain on one of the most absurd realities of working in education: calling out sick. From planning sub folders while mid-fever to writing emergency plans in a NyQuil haze, we explore the ridiculous, guilt-ridden, and occasionally hilarious world of teacher absences.
We talk about:
- The unspoken Olympics-level effort required just to stay home
- Why "mental health day" is code for “I’ve snapped but still care enough to write 6 pages of sub plans”
- The emotional toll of guilt vs. the physical toll of working sick
- The secret strategy game of “Should I call out tomorrow?”
- Top 10 funniest reasons students have given for their absences (spoiler: they’re amazing)
Whether you're a teacher, parent, or student, this episode will make you laugh, nod in agreement, and maybe… finally take that day off you’ve earned 17 times over.
🎧 Listen now, and don't forget to like, subscribe, and call out tomorrow. You deserve it.
