In this episode of "Teachers Who Talk Crime," hosts Ashleigh and Brooke dive into the ongoing debate about teachers and their time off. They explore the way it is currently done and how it possibly should be done. Should teachers get PTO or should they have to continue choosing sick vs. personal? Should mental health days be a third category added to the mix? Whether you agree or disagree, let's talk about it. Let us know what you think.
