‘I urge you to call in sick’: Teacher Rebelled Against School For Cancelling Eclipse Day For Students Only

As the cosmic dust settled from the solar eclipse, stories like this are popping up online. One teacher seized the moment to rebel against their school’s decision to cancel eclipse day for students, injecting a dose of humor into the aftermath of the celestial spectacle.

This teacher gave the school’s eclipse day cancellation for students the side-eye and joined the ranks of the antiwork movement. With a dash of rebellion and a sprinkle of humor, they turned a bureaucratic blunder into a chuckle-worthy protest. It was like David vs. Goliath, but with more puns and fewer slingshots.
