  Case: Sick Day or Personal Day?
In your district you get three personal days per year, and you have already earned all three. You would like to go out of town for a long weekend with some friends and would need to take Friday off to do so. Is it ethical to call in "sick" for this day even though you are not actually sick?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
No, this is not ethical.
My advice is be honest and take whatever decision administration gives you. Being a teacher is difficult and so are the hours, but it's what we choose.

Comments: As teachers it is important for us to be role models to children by behaving ethically. The author is correct in their assessment that being a teacher isn't easy but that doesn't mean we should take ethical shortcuts!
