Teacher Chronic Illness (schools, taxes, living in)

[Joe Reed]

Does anyone know of any study relating to the title??

You mean alcoholism?

I found this article from the UK- Sick teachers - Article - TES Connect

Doesn't appear to be a formal study but does hit on the reasons for teacher absenteeism and early retirement.
Hope this helps.

You might try chronic illness in the classroom; I got a few hits on that.

I once asked a Dr. why he wasn't sick during cold, flu, bronchitis, pneumonia season, and he explained that he'd been chronically ill for years during med school, internship and residency then finally acquired an immune system.

That comment shows your clueless concerning the job realities of a teacher.

You say you'd like some input. Okay...

At only 28 years old, you can still claim the stupidity of youth and living inside your bubble of a (privileged) world for making an ignorant, degrading, and insulting comment about an honorable profession that many people commit their lives to -- mostly for mediocre pay. Considering that the "school system doesn't really concern me much," your comment implies tremendous negativity toward those who work in it. Indeed, that "easiest job in the world" is often a thankless job made horrifically difficult by children of privilege and the spoiled brats who've sired them.

Nature made you with two ears, two eyes, and one mouth for a reason. You'd be wise to use that 4 to 1 ratio of inputs to outputs before you make comments evidencing academic anal glaucoma -- there is no way one could ever see your butt in a classroom teaching a bunch of kids. Instead, pay your tax bill and thank the gods that you don't have the "easiest job in the world," for you'd likely not last the day.

Maturity will eventually guide CaptainNJ where to live. Moving away from La-La-Land would be a good beginning.
