What do teachers do on professional days? Are they pretty slack, or are they a valuable tool for teachers? Is attendance mandatory? I know my uncle was a teacher and he always skipped them.
Just wondering...

I think it depends on the principal at the individual school. My wife is a teacher, and her principal always schedules a 7:30 staff meeting on professional development days. The general impression I get is they cram the useless meetings into that one day instead of spreading them out over 3-4 weeks like most jobs.
