Should teachers be able to strike?
Tearchers strike when they want more money and feel they are not being heard, so they rebel and miss work for a day without proper reason. This should result in job loss, but it dosent.

Like that will make a difference as to the current quality of education? Hmph, it might actually help! I think the educational system should be reformed first, then I would say that teachers should not be able to strike. I could see how they would want to have the ability to do so if something presented to them is unjust, but the gamble on the students' education is too great. Side: No

Did you really mean "want." Because i think what is more important is "need." If all teachers and not one feels like they "need" more income then there is something i am not understanding. However, i don't think teachers should strike during class times because isn't the reason hypocritical? Why would you want to strike during classes when the main reason to become a teacher is to teach and educate the children. If i was the principal, i would state that message to the strikers. And if they continue, then i will be willing to fire each and every one of them. Children should come first, and then strike. Side: No

That's the problem we've been having with teacher strikes in the UK it is term time and students are missing out on important schooling. The parents of the children have obviously not been taken into consideration as they now have to suddenly magic up money to pay for childcare or sacrifice their wages to take time off work. How can teachers justify this? I already posted in the other debate about the relation to the current UK strikes and it's actually not even about wages but pension funds. And how they have to pay in more for less. I hardly see it as a worthy striking reason since we are still recovering from recession and tax payers have to contribute to this pension. My partner and I can't afford a pension at all and work more hours than a teacher. Not to mention the average teacher salary is £32,000 per year in the UK they are expected to put 20% of their monthly wage in the pension scheme at £500. Their 20% is my partners entire 40 hour per week monthly wages. I just can't comprehend the complaints. Side: No
