I don't really have any ideas myself. It's not my strong suit (political wrangling, that is) LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 21/09/2011 01:00:21 AM
I agree, striking is often bad for everyone. But you have to get people to take you seriously, and as we can see from this thread, most people don't take teachers seriously at all.


But I do think that failing the same way over and over again requires a new method.
