Does anyone have a list of schools in Taipei/New Taipei that aren’t on the MOE school calendar?
I’m looking for a new position next year and would love at least Christmas day off.
International or Christian schools.
Just take the day off. Tell them it’s your religion. I’ve been giving that bullshit for 20 years, and never worked on Xmas day, apart from at the university, where they don’t give two shits about that.
most schools require teachers to find and pay their own subs. This on Christmas day, is tough to do and a slap in the face to anyone you ask to sub for you.
I still want to know if it is legal for schools to require teachers to find their own subs and pay their own subs. Seems very wrong because then paid leave is truly not paid.

I was also wondering about the legality of that policy. It really discourages me from ever taking a day off. Added to the fact of how much of a pain in the ass it is to find someone.
