Teachers during October strike in Birmingham


"Thousands of schools in England are set to close
as teachers stage a fresh wave of strikes
in a row over pay, pensions
and working conditions.
Families in the North East and Cumbria,
the South West, South East
and London - will be affected.
The industrial action has been
organised by the NASUWT and the
National Union of Teachers."





No school for some today

The UK doesn't even need the government to shut down, the people will do it themselves i guess.

get back to work, plebs!

Its the Unions
the Left Wingers
wrecking us.

YAAAAAAY

oh wait I'm 24 :(

my college is still open :bored:

I did Nazi this post coming.

Teachers get paid a lot so idgi :s

They don't really get paid that much, especially considering they're shaping the minds of tomorrow. I'm of the opinion that teachers and nurses especially ought to be paid more than they are. There are other professions that fall under that category too. They provide a vital public service that we all need at some point in our lives, they deal with all sorts of crap in their job that they aren't paid to deal with and it's not fair.

Tbh you have a point. Not only is it a stressful job they have to come home and still do hours of paperwork D:

It's just lazy
New Labour did this

Feckin kids at home
wanted a day off.

Feel the force.

Not only do I support the strike, but I've also gained an eleven hour sleep out of it so I'm all for it :worship:

all the schools in my town are shut apart from my college

Typical.

My school is private so :/
Well at least i'm ill so I get a day off.

..but not mine..:sad:...

Our schools are all shut just now anyway. :/

Thats a Good Thing
for all the Hard Working Parents

..why's are they closed, Lee..?..

...indeed, and all hard working staff as well...

October holidays Ammi.. Back on Monday though :D

..oh so that's your half term, your schools go back much earlier than ours do though, we have that the week after next...will the children have time off for the wedding/is it a Saturday..?...

I'm fully supportive of teachers and all public service workers.

Yes, I purposely arranged it for the start of the English holidays so everybody who's travelling up won't have to rush back for school on the Monday.. I'm going to keep mine off for a few days whilst their cousins are here too :)

Sod the Parents that had to take a Day Off Work, then.

Yes, you have to take a stand for your career and future you worked hard for.
Teachers are parents too, anyone whose working conditions and pensionable status were at risk would agree with them.
The 'I'm alright jack' attitude is unhelpful.
