I found out on Friday from my child's school, that they will be closed for 2 days this weeks due to strike action, and that further strike action will be taking place next month.
Whilst I do have sympathies for the reasons behind the strike action, I can't imagine how disruptive the impact of having 2 days off school in one week, can be towards a child's education, as well as the impact it could have on many working parents who are having to arrange childcare at very short notice, for the days that the school will be on strike, so that they can still go to work.
