Substitute teacher refuses to donate her limited PTO to full-time staff who used up theirs, even though she barely gets any benefits herself: ‘I was told I was being inconsiderate and need to be more helpful. Like what?’

So get this: The school district wants substitute teachers to donate their PTO to full-time teachers who ran out of theirs. Yeah, the same subs who don't get benefits, don't have job security, and have to fight for every paid hour. It's like asking the people in the budget seats to cover the VIP section's bar tab.

The district calls it being "helpful." Because nothing says teamwork like guilt-tripping the lowest-paid workers into giving up the one perk they actually have. But in reality, these subs are the ones showing up every morning to cover for teachers who didn't leave lesson plans, holding together classrooms powered entirely by chaos and dry-erase fumes. But somehow they're the inconsiderate ones.
