To what extent can the school's culture of care be extended to support our teachers wellbeing? Despite witnessing no reduction in workload or demands, I don't blame why teachers resort to obtaining extended sick leave or medical certificates to safeguard their own mental health and well-being. Personally, I've took such measures myself. Always prioritize our self-care; should any of us need rest or a break, why would you hesitate? Go ahead take sick leave or medical certificates. Nobody is going to care for you except yourself. While we can't control what others say about us, it's unfortunate if they're unhappy, while they too have the same options. At this point, sacrificing one's life to fulfill the teacher demands and ranking system in MOE schools seems unjustifiable. Life encompasses far more than that.
