Great! My DD has just informed me she has a note from school. Apparently the teachers are on strike again.

I am on the side of the workers – just pay them! – but it does make me wonder how many of the parents cope with this. Working from home, it’s easy enough for me but what happens when you are supposed to grab the guagua to work by 8.00 a.m. but your kid just tells you there is no school tomorrow.

This last scholastic year has been very disrupted by strikes. While I am all for sending the kids to state school that only counts if there is actually a teacher to take the class for the majority of the year.
