Today I will be sharing my opinion on the teacher strike that happened here in New Zealand on May 29th 2019 as well as why all the teachers went on strike.
So on May 29th 2019, Primary and Secondary teachers (And a few kids) went on strike to protest for more money and more time to spend with the children. They did this strike because right now they are attending so many different meetings and doing a lot of admin which they don't want and don't need. Also that they want to spend more time with the children they teach and help them understand maths, reading writing etc... getting ready for highschool, univeristy, college etc. Right now the average percentage on the teaching is 40% and the admin percentage is 60%. All the teachers want to bring the admin bit down to around 10-15% and the teaching to around 85-100%.
My opinion on this strike is quite low as all the teachers shouldn't have to go on strike because of sill admin stuff. The goverment should just ask for suggestions from all the teachers on what ways would make them happy as well as an easier options for the goverment to help make the teachers happy and make NO more strikes happen.
"Come on Teachers!!!! Let's turn this whole thing round! Let's persuade this goverment to listen to us and make us happy for the students as well as ourselves!"
Are you on the same page as the teachers?
Do you want them to have more time teaching your children than attending meetings or other things like that?
