I understand the director wanting to send staff home if the ratios do not warrant keeping you there; however, lesson planning should come first. Perhaps you can mention in a nice way that if the ratios are low you would be happy to get caught up on any planning or prepartion that you may need. Legally, you cannot be required to perform work without pay. Hope this helps! Name: Email: Subject
