I hope all turns out ok.<br /><br />Probably the wisest advice I ever had about teaching were these: "Remember that teaching is your job, not your life." I made sure to teach that to my own kids, too.<br /><br />Christine LanghofflaMissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00516322307725011313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534665086749553287.post-14997456925066411942016-04-27T00:42:31.560-04:002016-04-27T00:42:31.560-04:00I am a member of a worker cooperative in Tacoma, W...I am a member of a worker cooperative in Tacoma, WA, and the way we handle this sort of thing is as follows. We pay as much as we can to our members on an hourly basis, and share profits as well. Each member works whatever hours they want. Fishing season opens? Take a day off. Family? Take a day or week off. When my son was born I took a month to be with and care for my wife and daughter. I didn't get paid for that time, but we had money set aside because (as a member of the Cooperative), we weren't living paycheck to paycheck. I understand that an employer doesn't want to pay for hours that an employee isn't working, but if you pay fairly for the hours worked, you won't have to.
