How are you affected by the teachers' strike?
Hi neighbours,
What do you think about the teachers' strike? Thousands of Canterbury primary school teachers and principals are striking across the region today.
About 143 primary schools have closed, affecting around 50,000 school children. It's the third in a series of rolling strikes, and even bigger strikes including both primary and secondary school teachers haven't been ruled out yet.
Teachers say the strike action is calling for better pay and working conditions, more learning support, including for children with special needs, and smaller class sizes.
So, do you support the strike action? Or do you think they should have accepted the previous offer? Are you a striking teacher? Or a parent that's been affected by the strike action? Let us know your thoughts in the replies below.

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!
Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫

Surplus vegetables.
My favourite way to use these is in a frittatta. It's so easy to make and even the kids will usually eat it. Mine like cheese. There are heaps of frittatta recipes online.
