PLEASE do not assume that because a school is closed it is because the teachers are on strike.
All day on Wednesday (Dec 1) newsbroadcasts have said schools are closed because teachers are on strike.
My daughter works in a Newton Aycliffe School and she, along with all members of the teaching staff, went to work.
The children were not at school, however, because the ancillary staff were on strike.
Agree or disagree with the actions taken, let’s get the facts correct.
J Katai, Shildon.
