[Vicky.]

[Ninastar]

the whole of the years 8s in my school get off, but everyone has to go

one of my friends isnt coming in because her teacher is on strike and she only has his lesson that day

[Jords]

Im still at school

Most of the teachers are on strike though by the sounds of it

[Jords]

Its gonna be a day full of ghost lessons

[CharlieO]

The strikes due to the weather?

If so:
My mother was complaining about his like crazy the other day, she did part time teaching in some local schools over here where there is no air-con and its boiling all year round and dealt with it fine. She was ranting for ages about how pathetic it is that they were supposedly refusing to work in temperatures over 26.

Years 9,10 and 11 go in I think. Younger years can go in too "to do homework"

Pensions I think

The schools have already broke up for summer here.

I was saying to my teacher today that I thought it was really unprofessional that teachers were striking, and she was like that's not fair because the teachers are always going to look bad because of the media and that they have a good reason to strike because what is happening is immoral.

Oh, well that is due to the ageing population.

More children need to be had so its their parents fault for not having more children.

[Harry!]

My old school will be closed due to strikes, The school I was working at only two of the teachers will strike so it will run as normal.

[Smithy]

my brother is off

idk about my school

[Kerry]

I think most secondries are staying open but sorta jiggling things around. Closing to the younger years so they can focus on keeping the older ones in who have exams etc coming up. I know many primary schools are closing full stop

[Smithy]

exams are all over
