So I am a teacher and I found a summer CPST course that is about 3 hours from where I live. My in-laws offered to pay for us to all stay in a resort and make a vacation out of it so that I could take the course.
The trouble is, the course starts the first day of summer break -- and now we have had days added to our calendar because of the weather this year. So I requested the day off...but because most of the staff at my school were already scheduled to be at a training out of town, they need all the bodies they can to run the rest of the school, so my request was denied.
So instead of this awesome CPST trip, I am going to be stuck at school with a bunch of substitute teachers and kids who are beyond ready to be done with school.
I couldn't be more sad.
Is there any chance that if I contacted the instructor they could make arrangements for me to make-up the first day? I am part-time, so if I booked it out of town, I could maybe get there for the last 3 hours of the first day, but I'd miss the first 6 hours. I hear that the first part isn't as hands-on ... Any way I could test out of it? Or take a webinar or something? Anything?
