It seems that because they strike it is assumed "they feel superior" to other workers.shouldn't people work together to improve the public sector. There is a shortage of teachers in many areas due to heavy workload and low pay compared to other graduate career paths. If we want to attract good quality teachers we have to keep the pay level commensurate with those other jobs.Our education system is on the whole a great system, we need to protect it and not moan when teachers ask for our support.

she retired early through stress.
parents should support their teachers through this. they deserve your support.
if every parent was given a copy of The National Cirruculem most would be horrified by the size and content, and this is what teachers have to adhere to. its the size of war and peace!
if working parents have to pay for extra childcare then think of it as helping to support our teachers in reaching the standards of working conditions and saftey they deserve. its not just about money but self worth and moral.

I would NEVER support the strike action of fire fighters unless it was for life or death reasons. Hundreds of people apply for every vacancy knowing exactly what the job entails. The last fire fighter strike made me very angry.
