February 15 2024- Carly Anderson, a former teacher from Idaho, gained attention on TikTok for her unique use of personal time off (PTO). She revealed that every other Monday, she plans a substitute day to take a break and engage in activities like going to Target and having lunch with a friend. Despite recognizing her students during carpool pickup, Anderson maintains the act of being a stay-at-home mom, pretending she hasn’t been involved in planning their lessons. The video generated mixed reactions from commenters, with some praising her approach and seeking advice, while others expressed shock at her frequent time off, citing their own struggles to take a single day off as a teacher.
