@mrs. 64: @jhd: @gilmoregirl: Thanks for the advice!
@travellingbee: I will check it out. Thanks!
@swedishfish: My LO will be 9 weeks. I am so sad to leave him. New career + new baby=stressed out Rah!
-
@Anagram: I live on Long Island
-
@Katrocap: luckily DH's off on Mondays and Tuesdays so he will be with LO then. He also goes into work in the afternoons so a family friend will watch her W, Th, F for a couple of hours.
@rahlyrah: I'm trying to look at it as this is good for me and her. I need some time out of the house so I don't go stir crazy
-
Tomorrow.
The kids come back next Monday. DREADING leaving the freedom Baby Bear and I have had!
-
@swedishfish: ah, okay....I live on the other side of Manhattan
I figured it was somewhere in this area with that calendar. No maternity leave in NY?
-
@Anagram: I can take unpaid leave for up to two years but we can't afford it. I'm grateful I had the summer with LO because it's more time I would've had than if I gave birth during the school year. What do you get for leave?
-
I started a week and a half ago. Year round...
-
@808love: How do you like year round? About 1/3 of the schools in my district are going to a year round schedule next year. Mine isn't one of them, but I'm wondering if they may change more schools to year round after that. I feel like I might like some aspects of it.
-
I go back on Friday! Kids don't come back until the 26th so I am glad I get to ease into it. I have been trying to resist the urge to go into mega planning mode and just enjoy my last few days off while they last. I feel so lucky to get this break every year, I will try to remember the feeling in February!!!
-
@mrs. 64: I've been in the year round system ever since I started teaching 15+ years. I prefer and enjoy it. The kids and I get a break to regroup, reflect (and escape) at the end of every quarter. A few weeks off every break with over a month in the winter is really nice to keep things fresh. Personally, I think I would tend to get bored and/or 'forget everything' with longer traditional breaks. Plus you can travel off peak rates, depending on your schedule.
-
Meetings start the 15th, and the kids come back the 21st. It is weird to know that I will only be there until halloweenish before I go on leave!
-
@swedishfish: also unpaid, sadly. If I were tenured, I could have up to 2 years unpaid, but we just moved her last year, so I'm taking the 12 weeks FMLA, which my district doesn't start until the first day for teachers. So I go back the week before Thanksgiving.
-
@Anagram: oh wow, enjoy your time with your LO
and going back right before Thanksgiving is good...just a little time at work and then a short break!
The kids come back next Monday. DREADING leaving the freedom Baby Bear and I have had!
