[Stumped]

I don't know how they have the gall to even think of striking after the generous holidays they have just returned from - not to mention the days lost to bad weather earlier in the year. My youngest daughter is a teacher. She tells me that they are browbeaten by the militant unions and are obliged to strike whether they want to or not. Maybe we should concentrate our childrens education on the independent schools that are springing up around the country!
