Not sure how many other parents there are here, but this has been ongoing for some months now with no end in sight. I actually wish there was more media coverage to raise awareness of the plight of our teachers.

Yes, it's frustrating to have our kids home while we're trying to work etc, and I worry about impact on their schooling (especially when 'normality' was starting to return post-COVID lockdowns) but I feel strongly that these teachers are absolutely getting the short end of the stick in the pay negotiations. Keep supporting them where you can, talk to your kids about the whys of what's going on and cross everything for a positive resolution soon!

My 2c anyway :-)

I do appreciate it mate. I do know they can affect all of us, especially if they aren't being educated properly. I fully agree education is extremely important for any society to succeed. Cheers
