She's not a Marxist sofar as I know but I'm pleased to say she is a fully paid up trade union member.
All the teachers I know are working, supporting as many pupils as they are able.
I think Kev might have been referring to this type of activity ...........THIS or indeed THIS

The similarities between the two articles, and parallels drawn show that any action taken with a thirty year intervening period does not appear to have been successful in the case of teachers in the capital.

I'm would have though that neither my sister or brother in law are motivated by these types of radical activities, and that people who suspect teachers have an "easy time" at the moment, are fairly blinkered to the reality of life.
