Okay to start with I must say that I’m sure my opinion is very similar to the majority of most people in that my view of teachers and doctors and the NHS in general is one of respect.
However I don’t think either profession are doing themselves any favours whatsoever by striking.
Yes they do deserve better pay, but the way they are going about trying to get an increase is absolutely farcical, how nurses and doctors can go on strike putting the lives of innocent and sick people at risk in an attempt to justify why they deserve better pay, completely escapes me.
Teachers!!!!
So tell me how it’s considered perfectly acceptable to fine a parent £60 when their child misses school, but a teacher can stamp their foot down, like a spoilt child demanding more money, and forcing parents to either miss work themselves or pay someone to look after their child.
Surely the same should apply to them as well…
