Are class sizes too big these days?
Primary, secondary and kindergarten teachers are striking this week as they look for a pay offer that meets inflation at 7.2% and makes concessions around staffing issues - in particular, student to teacher ratios.

What do you think are the ideal sizes for classrooms?
Type NFP alongside your comments if you don't wish these to be shared in the We Say You Say column of the local paper.

What are your thoughts on the job losses at Kinleith Mill?
“We’re moving to Australia.”
Those were the words shouted from the window of a passing car full of Kinleith Mill workers after hearing that at least 230 of them would be losing their jobs by the end of June.
