Check your facts before you talk trash. There's such things as leave without pay. How would you know anything about whether a sick leave policy is being abused? Stop your nonsense, and step up to the plate and run for public office yourself, you big talker. Guys like you are all talk. I have a lot of respect for our teachers and public servants. Easy to talk shit. Run for office and see how easy this part-time, full-time job is.
