Apparently the government have advocated taking your kids to work wth you if their school is shut for the strike next week: www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-15858885

Mmm in my open plan office there must be around 20 people with school age kids (mostly 2 each) so that's 40 kids to house just on our floor of the building.....

Workable proposition do you think?

I'm not sure about taking my dcs past the picket line on to a hospital ward. Hmm

After starting this thread rather tongue-in-cheek look what happened at our school today: www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2011/11/30/boy-hurt-in-school-explosion-after-teacher-mum-takes-him-to-work-over-strike-115875-23600832/
A poor teacher that didn't strike has been badly hurt in a science lab explosion and a 6 year old brought in by their non-striking parent a la David Cameron's bright idea has also been hurt.
Hope they both make a speedy recovery.
