So come Thursday, some kids will be left roaming the streets unsupervised whilst those parents that care and who work, struggle to find child care arrangments. Everyone has the right to protest about working conditions and pay and I am sure they have their grievances. Gone are the days of good old, traditional teaching which has now been replaced with political correct, over protective, excuse making, do-gooders who brought in these changes of where teachers now have to live in fear of their own safety because of the behaviour of a moronic few.
Gone too are the days when teachers could dole out the cain, chuck blackboard dusters at you and clip you one around the earhole.

Yes, sadly those days have gone and the job of a teacher is now ten times more difficult. Good luck with the strike, it is the only way this so-called Labour government may, just may, take any notice of their grievances.

It really annoys me that schools can give parents very little notice that they intead to strike, causing major problems for those who work. Yet if we need to take our child out of school for appointments etc, we need to give written notice in plenty of time. I'm not even going to start on the subject of those parents who have to seek permission to take their children on holiday during term time!!

In all fairness, I think the teachers do deserve a good pay rise. Right or wrong to strike they have to get their view across and this seems their only option where our present government might take them seriously. Perhaps the Government could introduce danger money in their pay packet with them having to teach some of the kids of today. In fact most of the public sector should be paid more than they are they need it in today’s society for the C—p they have to put up with.

Parents who take their kids out of school in term time risk being dragged through the courts. The obvious Solution is for the Government to crack down on travel agents hiking their prices during term time. Most parents cannot afford holidays for their kids because of this. Holidays can be educational as well as fun.

Good reporting???
I know for a fact that at least two of those above schools are open on thursday.
Is this guess work or did you actually do some research.
