Hello,
I am a teacher at a special needs school, and a student, during a crisis, broke my personal computer (which I use for work). Can I be reimbursed? Who should I ask?
Thank you very much for your answers.

Hi. I’m a special education teacher in a medical-educational institute for young people with moderate to severe disabilities and my external hard drive was broken by a young person (tripping over the cable). I wasn’t reimbursed by the institution, which considered that I shouldn’t have taken a personal item to use with the young people, or that it was at my own risk. They even made it clear to me that there are USB flash drives for the photos and videos of the young people, implying that the sharing of illegally acquired videos was prohibited, you get the idea. As for turning to the young person's parents to make them liable, I was laughed at, as in “go ahead and try”.
Now, maybe it’s different in the national education system. -
Hello
I would say get insurance as long as you take one out beforehand, specifically for professionals?
In the institution, I know teachers who only use the equipment obtained from the institution, even if it drives them crazy.
Indeed, they come with their documents on a USB stick for that purpose.
For safety, there's the possibility to recreate the USB stick from the institution via the internet on their mobile with documents on their home computer. (USB sticks are fragile and infections are common in institutions).
Your responsibility can also be at stake if a student gets hurt!!! Your computer for work in the staff room is not the same.-
Re. @ Maitresse Nanie.
Collected in 2 minutes from a public school teacher, both primary and secondary, who distinguishes 3 situations to help you:- Autonomous secular solidarity insurance, protects staff, prevents risks. This is the insurance taken out personally for that purpose.
- If the establishment has not provided IT support allowing the exercise of their teaching, it has therefore forced the teacher to use their private equipment, but one must have asked and obtained a refusal. One can then ask for compensation for damages as they did not provide the means to teach under good conditions.
- If the teacher has used their personal equipment on their own initiative without requesting resources, that’s on them.
Thanks to the teacher for their help.
I would like to add: sometimes if you have paid by credit card, there are reimbursement insurance clauses regardless of the cause, but with a short validity period. If by chance, etc.
@CETU
The USB key was therefore not with any ulterior motives.
The institution may have equipment or may provide it upon request if it has "necessary resources for teaching" funding, check it out.- Yes, it's true that a USB flash drive can do the trick in some cases, except that in absolute terms, I'm not allowed to take it out of the institution, while I'm the one doing the video editing for the dance show, choir, and educational transfer from home since the work computers are still running on XP with 500MB of RAM. T-T The DVD I could burn for the kids, I don't have a budget for, and the USB drives we have are 4GB. So I put the 10GB of films on my external drive, bring it to work, and ask the parents to provide a USB that I fill (again, taking the drives home is impossible according to the rules).
So basically, I should, whatever happens, break the rules.
Anyway, it's to say that I've taken the rules full in the face and the cost of the drive too. Since then, I no longer edit the films (in my free time, don't forget). I leave them as they were filmed and just put them on the drives. Honestly, given the films it produces, I'm a bit ashamed.
