  1. Don't complain. The NAHT did not reach the threshold for strike action yet so called leaders will continue to complain about funding cuts. Money should be poured into education but obviously the Tories will not do this. The majority of NASUWT members did not vote to strike ( total membership) because it did not reach the threshold. Yes, the threshold is too high but the result of not meeting it is that strike action cannot take place. The NEU met the threshold but without the other two unions, its argument is severely blunted. It shows there is no solidarity in teaching and the NASUWT must be the Tories favourite union. The NEU is out on a limb. Education is in free fall with multiple problems and it is going to be even worse in two to three years from now. Teachers are leaving for various reasons. Pay and unsustainable workload are two without doubt but the elephant in the room that is not being addressed is also worsening behaviour and bullying of staff. Unless the culture in schools changes ( spoiler alert- there is zero chance of this), nothing can improve and the exodus will quicken. Watch this space.
