Reasons there is a Teachers strike:
- Pay has declined 24%
- Per pupil funding is below 2010 levels
- Workloads are unmanageable.
- We can't recruit/retain teachers or support staff.
Not reasons for a Teachers strike:
- "Militant" Trade Union leaders.

It's important to note that the impending #TeacherStrike is NOT just about teacher pay!
It's also about:
1. Underfunded schools
2. Squeeze on the school day/hours
3. Teacher workload; one of the highest in the world!
= The means, ALL pupils get less quality teaching!
@Hannahmarie1402 Probably only enough time to do a learning walk, book look or write an action plan. No regular time given. I dropped Maths last term because of the workload!
Teachers did not party in staffrooms, they put their own lives at risk to keep the country learning.
This is a disgraceful rewriting of history to distract from the Prime Minister & the Chancellor's lawbreaking. An apology must be issued to the teaching profession immediately.
We've lost quite a few followers for being critical of Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak breaking the law.
But NHS staff have never needed support more, so please follow and RT if you remain right behind us.
No-one wants another lockdown, but doing absolutely nothing in the face of the extreme pressure being put on the NHS by covid right now is an abdication of responsibility.
There is lots of mitigation room between implementing a lockdown and doing absolutely nothing.
