Teachers

I have and always will support the strikes but have a couple of questions since the announcement that the government will accept the recommendations re pay rises but will not increase funding.

Will you still strike in light of the fact the pay rises are not being funded?

What sort of impact is this going to have in schools do you think?

Yes and no. Not every child fits into the 0 tolerance model and it's not just his views on discipline that are problematic. Look at his view on school budgets etc. The trouble with exclusions is, where does the child go after? There's not much AP available and most boroughs are having to outsource to private providers as so many PRUs are filled with kids who have been excluded for uniform infractions or offences committed because they were being groomed. Even the police seem more understanding than some of these schools.

ASCL have voted to accept (Geoff Barton's headteachers union).
