Teachers who strike are a disgrace to their profession.

What is this now, about 'profession'?
Who has it been, and who is it, that has denigrated the worth, merit and standing of teachers as a profession these last thirty years or more? And incessantly knocks and bullies the teaching 'profession' as being the sort of thing that can be picked up as easily as floor-sweeping and square-bashing?
If it isn't the very same sort that would now complain.

By all means let them strike during the school holidays, picket the education authority and forgo their holiday pay. But a strike that only hurts those for whom they are supposed to care is cowardly and immoral.

Post 3 adds nothing to the debate, Keith. That is why I previously ignored it.

How many parents will have to take a day off work without pay to pick up the pieces resulting from this selfish and cowardly industrial action?

Absolute, utter, mindless tripe Brian - I bet that all the supporters of strike action on here will not have children at school...

Totally agree with Peter, striking will only hurt the kids' education and affect the parents who have to take time off to look after them - that's for the younger ones of course, many secondary school kids will think great, if teachers can bunk off for a day when they like so will I.
Much better to withdraw their goodwill over extra-curricular activities or some administrative processes that won't affect providing education.

good point ray there are other ways to make a point, when firefighters threaten to take action they still deal with emergencies.

I know Peter, this sitting on the fence malarkey hurts my nether regions...
Maybe those that support strike action will volunteer to collect those children from their homes and return them later, enabling the working parents to continue with their day to day lives...
No? Didn't think so - talk is cheap to these people.

The image of some with their heads stuck up their backsides is only fleeting, as that act calls for flexibility it would clearly be beyond 'those people'. Perhaps the posterior-pain is but psychosomatic?
The fact of the ridiculousness of any and all strike action has never been lost on those who nevertheless are often driven to take such action.
I wonder if those who wallow in the mind-set of the 19th century would care to live their lives under the then prevalent conditions that they so readily foist upon others?

Yeah, because life now is so hard Tom - life under your stone must be so wonderful, whatever you do, don't emerge from it to face the real world...
