I get what you are saying but at the end of the day it's the MANAGERS job to make sure they have teachers in front of the students. Not to make sure you can go play golf because you need a break (since you are harping on the personal days thing). They have contracted folks to stand in front of their kids so asking a teacher to find a sub isn't the end of the world. Not ideal but not the end of the world. And well, there are other ways to get what you need from TMEA like going to TBA when school isn't in session. Or doing online TMEA clinic during your conference period for a few weeks after TMEA if you couldn't attend. These 3 days are not the only way to be a better educator.
