So there’s talk of teachers going on strike in the near future. Fair call. I’m non-teaching staff, which I get, but today I spent 10 minutes explaining to a yr 5 student why 1 × 10 is not 100. I grabbed some blocks, counted out ten, and when I asked, “if I have one lot of ten blocks, how many do I have?” The kid answered, “um, eleven?”

No wonder teachers want more pay and better conditions. It’s an uphill battle with some kids.

That’s frightening.
