I also am anti strike which is why I am in a union which has a no strike policy. However, none of this affects me anymore because I have recently stopped working and am decluttering and downshifting.

I agree with Don T.

IMO the NUT has been pushed into this and will not have taken strike action lightly. I fully support the teachers. Hopefully children who were out of school for the day will have done private revision for upcoming exams, caught up on homework, investigations, projects and coursework.
