It is the right of everyone to make choices. These choices can range from food, clothing and how you act as long as it is within the law and does not offend. This week thousands of adults made the choice to strike. Firemen, teachers, nurses etc went on strike.

    Teachers should be on strike because of the pay some have family’s but they will need money for their family , to pay for electricity and water, for gas , new clothes , gifts and food.
    So that is why I agree with the teachers being on strike 👩‍🏫 👨‍🏫 🧑‍🏫
    I believe we should make it fair to the teachers for them and family 👨‍👩‍👧👨‍👩‍👦👨‍👩‍👧‍👦👨‍👩‍👧‍👧👨‍👩‍👦‍👦👩‍👦👨‍👧

    Year 3- I agree teachers should be on strike because they aren’t getting paid enough so that’s why I know teachers should go on strike.

  3. Rayan M.

    Yes I think they should go on strike because they have been working for months.

  4. Havin A.

    Yes because we need more money from the government and for the kids because we are not getting enough

  5. Nick C.

    It’s because the government has not been paying the teachers enough
    I think they should because they don’t pay them a lot

  6. Neda S.

    Yes of course because teachers might not get paid enough by the government so they get angry because they try so hard so they quit because the government doesn’t give that much payment

  7. Dean-Junior L.

    I think we should have a strike because the teachers don’t get money that they want and students should also have a strike because we’ve had there would be no teachers to be with in their class.Like we should have give one pound to all the teachers because they just don’t get enough money to pay for stuff like a water bottle,iPad or tabble.we need more money to give to the teachers so then they can have more money. And more money to pay their bill and electric

  8. Muhammed H.

    Yes because they need to give the children more time to do there stuff.

  9. Kaif B.

    I agree that teachers should be on a strike because some teachers are not getting paid enough and probably some of the teachers might quit their job

  10. Aiza B.

    Yes because they don’t get paid enough. If they get paid enough then they shouldn’t go on strike’s.

  11. Minnah M.

    I think teachers should be allowed on strike because they are not getting enough money from the government. And other people get inspired by the same things so teachers don’t give up there dreams but other jobs are easier to get as we only need a bit of skills for example police officers job is easy to get and get more money 💰

    Ks 2 – I think teachers should have a strike because their not getting paid enough money 💵.

  14. Eesaa A.

    I don’t agree that teachers should be on strike because the other years that are going to school it would not be fair for them because they would have to go to school

  15. Eliza N.

    I agree that they should be on strike because they don’t give them a pay check or enough money 💰

  16. Emil D.

    We have 600 kids in our school🏫

  17. Ebunoluwa I.

    Yes,because the teachers have not got enough money 💵.

    Teachers are going on strike for the pay rise because everything has gone expensive these days and the government should take responsible action to avoid this. Teachers work hard to teach kids everyday. I really hope they find a solution soon because striking for a long time will affect the studies of children in schools.

    I think teachers can go on strike because as inflation continues its only fair if the government give money to people that aren’t getting paid enough to buy stuff and live.

    We talked about what a strike is. The children understood that people strike because they feel undervalued and don’t get paid enough for what they do. We understood that it wasn’t about greed, but quality of life.

  25. Bahar K.

    Yes I agree I don’t think it’s fair. Teachers should go on strike. If prices are increasing why shouldn’t pay increase? Also , teachers aren’t as appreciated as they should be. So I think they should go on strike.

  26. Maddox B.

    Yes because that wasn’t fair that teachers because you thought you were going to get more money from the government

  27. Rayyana M.

    I do agree that teachers should go on strike because if the government don’t pay them enough and everything is more expensive they will not be able to afford anything.

  28. Jensen C.

    I agree that the world should go on strike because the people of Britain do not get paid enough.
    But I also disagree because this means shops and restaurants are crowded.
    Mum said she went to a local restaurant and had to wait an hour and a half to get a table so she did not get lunch

    Yes I agree because don’t have enough money
