I am a teacher and I am on sick leave because of dengue. My boss texted me asking for a lesson plan for the week, do u think thats proper?

Im asking just to know is it right for my boss to do that knowing that i am very ill. Because im a sensitive person. But im not angry at my boss because i know thats my responsibility. I just feel its a little bit off to ask ur employees to do task knowing they been to emergency a day before.

No- in light of the facts that 1. you presumably HAD a plan for what you were going to teach and how, and 2. the students' learning not being disrupted is literally the whole reason they go to school in the first place, it makes perfect sense that your boss would reach out.

If you are sick you are sick.

You can't work and your supervisor or collegues or anyone, can't expect you to work from home, including planning, reading emails, not even answering the phone.

At least thats the situation here in germany, from what i've heard working in the US are quite worse.

A real professional person should never text. I would lose my job if I did it.

It's more professional to call someone who's wracked with sickness and may not be awake or able to speak coherently?
