Teacher Strike!

Kia Ora viewers!

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? 


                                         

Teachers Strike- My Opinion.

Hello everyone!

Today in this blog post, I will be talking about the teacher strike that is happening on Wednesday (15th August) . Let's get to it!

So this coming Wednesday, the teachers at my school are going on a strike for us. (The Children). If your teachers are part of the union for Christchurch then your teachers will be participating in it which means no school. (BOOOOOOOOOOOO). This strike is so the teachers can spend more time with us during school time and less time doing all the paper work and attending meetings.
Here is my opinion on this strike:

My opinion on this strike is.. Good. It;s good because at our school we have to email the teachers to check off our work where as if we spend a lot more time with the teachers, we wouldn't have to do that. I also say that the people who own the union are very stupid because they are making the teachers do more work and attend meetings than spending more time with the students so they understand the learning more. Come on teachers! Let's turn this round! Let's make the teachers spend more time with us so we can learn more things faster and easier!

Are your teachers participating in this strike? Do you get a day off school? What's your opinion on this strike?
