Interestingly, when one union goes on strike so does the other in solidarity. Also, they stay on strike for as long as it takes them to win and get exactly what they want. They don't do bargins. As my friends tell me, their stance is "It's our way or these kids don't get taught." Consequently, the government very very rarely messes with the teaching unions.<BR/><BR/>If only we had that kind of strength in this country, in stead of a typical British attitude of trying not to upset the apple cart too much. When will this nation develop a back bone and become a hell of a lot more militant?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28919367.post-32263214726412496732008-01-26T16:35:00.000+00:002008-01-26T16:35:00.000+00:00You mentioned the Herefordshire Peoples Revolt a c...You mentioned the Herefordshire Peoples Revolt a couple of blogs back. The support for the local schools and teachers from the parents and wider community has been exceptional and taken the local politicians by surprise. <BR/>Teachers must sometimes feel they have no support from parents but, at least in Herefordshire, when the call went out the parents supported the teachers against the politicians. Civil disturbance was only narrowly avoided.Dr Sharon Mengelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17816101392948562491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28919367.post-9827860146425469972008-01-26T16:01:00.000+00:002008-01-26T16:01:00.000+00:00when i see the adverts on tv asking us to become t...when i see the adverts on tv asking us to become teachers i always think about your blog and smile.<BR/>good luck john gibsonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
