Work in an independent school where term time holidays are sort of tolerated.
Parents asking for work missed due to their essential term time holiday (goodness knows the holidays for pupils are long enough) to be sent home.
Irritates me cos they're wanting their cake and eat it plus they're thinking all I do is set work. No recognition of the fact I teach!! If only all I did was set work!
Child in question is key stage 1 so very much dependent on teacher input.
Head is supportive and saying no but it's made me grumpy Hmm

@WowLookAtYou 🙌 yes!!!! This !! Same for work set for exclusions. I know it's a legal requirement but in my 14 years teaching and 100s of exclusions I've set work for only once was it complete !!
