A dad criticised teachers taking industrial action after his son missed lessons. Teachers in their thousands walked out on February 1, with over half of schools in England being affected.
As reported by Grimsby Live, Rob Lewis' said his son missed four lessons due to the strikes and believes he would have been better staying at home. "Rather than him just sitting there, he could have been at home doing something educational or on a trip to somewhere educational like York Castle," he said.
"I don't think this kind of action is acceptable when they're ramming it down kids' throats that they shouldn't have a day off during term time and that they're not to be late to school," he said. "As well, teachers are already paid quite a decent wage compared to the rest of us so striking doesn't feel like something they should be doing.
