10% of work days as sick days is absolutely ridiculous and sets up the system for failure. If you are off one day every two weeks, you need to change careers, wear a mask or wash your hands more. Sick days should be 2% or so with exceptions for one-off longer events like surgery or injury. If you take off one day every two weeks, you are obviously milking it.

Not sure where the 10% came from but for most people that would be 24 sick days a year (give or take depending on how many weeks vacation they get).

Most people are unwilling or unable to work 240+ days per year.

The teachers have 20 days sick leave and 200 working days.

I'll give elementary school teachers a pass on that one. Those environments are biological warfare petri dishes.

Daycare is just as bad. They don't get 20 paid sick days a year. Guess how many sick days day care workers take?

Ah, yes, those hated teachers... not sure what they have to specifically do with my post, I know it was one reason we started talking about sick days, at one point they could carry, I may be mistaken but I have never heard of them being paid for not using them...

I knew someone in the entertainment industry, doing a contract gig. If she booked a day off she had to pay for her replacement.
