New Zealand teacher strike

On Wednesday there was no school because the teachers were protesting. They are striking because they aren't getting paid properly. Teachers should get paid properly so they have money to buy groceries and pay rent. If teachers aren't paid properly I think they will stop coming to school. This would be bad because there would be no teachers to teach the kids!
