In our school all staff have 2 playtime duties as well as a before school/after school turn at seeing the children safely in/out of the grounds.
I have a medical condition that is reasonably well controlled by medication, but that flares to become more painful when I'm subject to being out in cold weather/cool breezes etc. My head has told me that when I go back to work (after being off sick since Feb) that my duties will be covered for me.
I look and sound in every other respect to be completely well, but will be in discomfort straight away if stuck outside in the lightest breeze and in pain when stuck outside in the cold. (I have a fetching range of scarves to help but they don't solve the problem).
I wonder whether it will be resented that others have 'duties' to do and I am excused, when noone looking at me could tell why.
Whether you're a permanent teacher, supply teacher or student teacher, you'll find others in the same situation on our Staffroom forum.

If another member of staff was excused from playtime duty, would you resent it?
