A couple of weeks ago, my son had a fever. He couldn't go to school. He felt miserable.
I was booked in to cover a Year 1 class. I had to ring and cancel in the morning. I felt so guilty, I knew there were a number of teachers sick.
Well in advance I had been booked in to cover two days (Monday and Tuesday) in one classroom the following week. All the planning had been sent to me.
The Sunday before my daughter got the fever. She couldn't go to school. I couldn't leave her either. I had to cancel that too. I continued to feel guilty. But this is why I'm a supply teacher and not a full time teacher... my family has to come first.
