Easter holiday

[beesbugsbutterflies]

Teachers, If you are working next week during the Easter holidays, do you claim for extra hours you've worked?

I'm a TA in an independent school but have been furloughed. Would happily have volunteered to go in during the holidays.

It's a precedent though, and a small acknowledgement from our employers of people taking on an extra risk voluntarily.
The time off was during the lockdown, so a bit of time you wouldn't feel guilty for turning off your phone or having a lie in, basically.

I would agree lockdown working isn't the same - it's been far busier and I've found a total blurring of lines between home and school that leave me marking students work late at night and responding to emails at silly times in the morning. The actual work we are doing might not be so time consuming if trained in the systems and sitting in an office with decent IT - we are mostly learning on the hoof and trying to use systems unused to the demand on our own IT - even our phones at times. Takes twice as long as it would at work.
No discipline problems to deal with though, that's always a bonus.
