Yo, Teach!
Right so me and a friend have had a bit of a barney and I'm trying be constructive and get advice now.
My bezzie mate is getting married next year and wants to tie the knot on 12/12/12 (which is a Wednesday). One of the bridesmaids (my friend, a teacher) is worried that she won't be given it off and might be fired if she pulls a sickie or something similar.
Question boils down to- have you had experience of getting a day off from work for something other than bereavement, family stuff or illness?
It's a year and a half until the day and would of course take it unpaid. Is this a reasonable request? Or are schools really just big giant c**ts?
