Re: teachers’ strike
I have four grandchildren who each have four children, making a total of 16 great-grandchildren, the eldest being 15.
These are all home schooled. The families all have husbands working and mother does the cooking, cleans and cooks etc., and schools the children.
The government provides costs for books and activities, including swimming, piano and music lessons, all this up to high school.
The older kids are not dummies: they know more about reading, writing and arithmetic and history, geography and the stars than I. They have their own computers and know more about most things today than I do.
May I ask, ‘Who needs well-paid school teachers who are always asking for more money?’
