When the government agreed to let Catholic elementary teachers get a “bonus” day if they were absent at least one day less than the board average it thought it was a nice thing to do. The maximum was 16 days after all. Who would take that much? Ha ha. It turns out that teachers in the Toronto Catholic School Board took an average of 16 days off meaning that anyone with at least 15 days off gets the extra “bonus” day. Toronto Star.
