I wont get in to specifics but I have lots of family who are teachers. The #### they get to do is incredible.
10 years ago at my last job, at telus, I wanted to visit Croatia. I didn't have a family yet, was single, and could afford to go. I gave them
18 months notice I wanted to take a 2 week leave of absence on top of my vacation days so I could spend over a month in Zagreb and Hvar. They denied it. We won the grievance after 7 months but by then the best they were willing to offer was an October time off, not September like I wanted.
One of my family whos a teacher took off a year sabbatical just to visit Europe. No questions asked, no problems.
