Our welfare suggests that you go on a holiday when you are stressed so you take a couple of weeks off with stress and go on holidays
This is tricky. I am a teacher too, so I know how you feel. I would go and see your DEPUTY head if they are more approachable, or Head of Department- your workmates may be able to cover your hours between them for the week, so cover may not be necessary. You could ask any other colleagues if they wouldn't mind standing in for you, and promise that you will set all work in advance so they won't have to organise a thing. THEN go and see your boss and say you have won this amazing prize, and please can you go, since you never had a honeymoon, and you have asked your colleagues and then are happy to step in for you just for a week.
Only a real biatch would say no, and by then, your colleagues would be on your side, and hence your boss would be v. embarrassed to say no to you AND everyone you have told.
You could also offer to do it unpaid, which is a fair swap, so the money you would earn is going to pay a supply teacher.
At my College we have time off for all sorts of things- we are all musicians, and if we go on tour or whatever, College just has to make do without us for a week or two!
Good luck anyway!
it's difficult to get time off when you work in a school, I wanted time off for a funeral (half a day!) and my head kicked off about it!! :o( I wouldn't mind but I even suggested to take it unpaid!!
If we tried what Scarlett suggests then we'd get it in the neck for using initiative and making changes behind the heads back!!
Stress seems the only way out of this one - otherwise you're going to have to come clean!
good luck fizzypop x
