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.

Why are teachers at fault for having negotiated better working conditions?
There are private sector companies where your request would have been accommodated, you just didn’t have that right at your former workplace.
You’re making it look like any teacher at any time can just ask to take a personal leave of absence and be approved, which is certainly not the case.
