Re: Teachers' Strike
Another teachers' strike. Someone at the NEU seems to have got mixed up over the dates - they've only given themselves one long weekend: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8x9qpp2jkkoAnother teachers' strike.

It could be the case that things have improved over the years, or it could just be the school I went to - even to this day I talk to former pupils bemoan the standards there.

My experience of school was chalk and talk, coupled with plenty of gratuitous violence.
I've no direct experience of teachers today, but a few years back when my kids were at school you'd have been hard pressed to get me to urinate on a teacher if they were on fire. I really have never met such a bunch of useless wasters.
I have plenty of experience of the further education sector, and they are strangled with pointless paperwork and in-house politics. Some are there for an easy ride, but many are dedicated and go out of their way to assist students.

I think things have changed a lot since those days Lex.Even when I went to school they all seemed very dedicated to their jobs. Oh yes some had power-images of themselves But I've found most of them nowadays are dedicated.
What do you do if bosses won't even listen?How can you even talk to them if you are being ignored and the work piles on and on until many can't cope with the workload, so they go off sick -or leave, making us short of teachers.. I blame the bosses for not listening. If they did there could be some kind of compromise.
I'd strike too.

No doubt, it was the usual headache for parents - having to arrange last minute childcare/day off. From my experience, most teachers are incompetent idlers who think they deserve a day's pay because they managed to stumble into the office (at least at the school I went to).

Yet if parents don't send their kids to school they get fined!
I wonder just how many parents are inconvenienced by this action today?
