Waikato Times education reporter Aaron Leaman is looking to speak to families about the ongoing teachers' strikes.
Strike days are planned for the next five weeks and we're keen to speak to parents about the impact the strike action is having on their households. For example, are some parents looking to take days off work so they can be home with their children? Have some families called in the grandparents for help?
Email aaron.leaman@stuff.co.nz or call him on 027-480-5020 if you'd like to share your story.

Let's make sure we all arrive alive to where we need to go by following these four simple and proven road safety actions:
- Make sure everyone has their seatbelts on
- Remove distractions and stay focused on driving
- Don’t get behind the wheel if you’ve been drinking or are tired
- Drive at a safe speed for the conditions
With severe and changeable weather forecast for across the country the following winter driving tips are equally important as well.
The only way we can reduce unnecessary road deaths and injuries is by working together to be safe, considerate and alert on the roads. If you spot dangerous driving behaviour or urgent but not life threatening driving incidents you can report it to the New Zealand Police by calling *555 for free from any mobile device.
Have a great long weekend!

Trust volunteer Mark Bacchus said the group was seriously considering its future.
"Without this source of funding, operations will need to be severely curtailed."
The signs are less than 60 metres from a controlled intersection, council's community connections manager Megan May said, so they breach a District Plan provision.
