Teachers are fed up with having no status,with no real input into the system,everything imposed from outside and from people who wouldn't last five minutes in front of the average 14-15 year old classes.I won't be striking as I'm not a member of a union..very hard as a temporary worker to get a chance to join a union.
I'm not a civil servant but my husband became one two years ago..He reckons as a an uptight Tory that they have a point and he can see why, but he won't strike himself.
As for the others I can't say.I suppose it all comes down to that old adage 'walk a mile in my shoes'.
