Utter Cad.
Like many thousands in the south east, I'm out tomorrow.
Another strike decision taken with a heavy heart [and I hate giving up a day's pay when I really shouldn't feel forced to] but there's no escaping the feeling that the reptilian Mr Gove is gunning for teachers in an almost sociopathic way. It's a tough, largely thankless job getting in front of 30 kids day after day yet we do it anyway - and often with passion and amazing commitment - but enough is enough.
If the Tories want top class teachers, pay a decent wage and treat them well. It's that simple. Don't erode pay and conditions so much that barely anyone with any talent will bother applying - isn't that the free market economics you so earnestly believe in, Mr Gove? Surely, to allow that is to sell the children of the UK short.
I strongly believe in a high-calibre education for this nation's youth. Does the government?
Support the strike. Support our children's future - they deserve to be taught by the best.
