    I wonder how many will spend the day working. Loads I think.

    Not me. I have a wife and a beautiful 4 month old son.

    I'm very happy to "pay" a days wages to have a day out with them. I've always been of the opinion that if you're in a union you follow the union but am perfectly happy to accept that other teachers won't strike.

    ATL & co are entitled to their view. However , they are entitled to revise the benefits fought for by others.

    I think most teachers will do extra to ensure exam classss don't miss out.

    I was on strike last Tuesday and I got up at the usual time (5am to take my husband to the station) and I was working marking and planning until about 6.30pm :o I know you're not meant to but it needed doing!

    Same with my OH. Spent the day marking 200 books (or trying to!)

    They choose to withdraw their labour, so shouldn't be paid simple really.


    You do know that they won't be paid?
