Teacher rebels after school is canceled for only students during the solar eclipse: 'I urge you to call in sick'

It's not fair that only the students were allowed to enjoy this historic moment! Meanwhile, those of us in the working world including the educators of said children were forced to work during the solar eclipse. For those of you who are teachers out there, did you all get to enjoy the moment? Or were you like this Redditor and forced to stay inside in a windowless room to attend a lame professional development workshop?

Thankfully, this teacher saw it coming and planned well in advance, so she was able to take the day off. Still, the rest of her colleagues were actively told that they needed to attend yet another presentation about why they're not doing a good enough job of educating the next generation of students. Let this story serve as yet another reminder that teachers are humans too, and they deserve to enjoy life's special moments just as much as anyone else. In fact, they deserve more special moments given the nonsense they have to put up with on a daily basis.
