They've sat on their arses whinging about how exposed they are to Covid for near a year, will they really be looking two weeks off for Easter? That really will be some brass neck right there.
Some teachers maybe but my son is a secondary school teacher and has been working more hours than normal this year. He can teach a class of 20 or 30 normally in school all at once but is doing one to one online work with pupils together with puting together online presentations and additionally working on the assessments that will replace this year's exams. He works his normal hours daily and puts in many an hour evenings and weekends. Even on the Easter Holidays he will be puting in hours to try to help the kids achieve something this year out of the sh1tfest they have had to endure. As I started some teachers but not all. Teachers of most academic subjects have been very active with maybe say PT teachers having an easier time due to the constraints of their subject.
