The principle is a swine and completely out of line here. Your personal time is just that "personal" and that is why it is given to you. I agree that no mention of what you need the time off for in the future would be the best route to go....it's none of their business. You don't need to quantify why you need the time off. Good grief, everyone needs time off now and again, life happens, things happen, and dang it all being a teacher is a stressful job!

Everyone deserves a "mental health day" now and again.....I hope you enjoy the day and sell lots of your work!
