I'm a teacher...don't hate me!

Being out of the loop as I'm on maternity leave, I forgot yesterday was another strike day for teachers. ATL, the teaching union I belong to haven't taken strike action for a while so I would not have been striking. But fellow colleagues did participate. The media lead you to believe it's all about pay and pensions but it certainly isn't!
 Here is a link to a letter a teacher wrote to parents in regards to strike action...sums it up.
