Re: General Strike
I have one child who has school and one who says she does not! Last time I made her go into school but none of her classmates did so she was not taught anything, even though more than half the teachers went to work they did not do any classes the kids sat and watched DVDs. Same when the students went on strike a few weeks ago, because she could not tell me why she was going on strike I made her go in the teachers did not do lessons for the children that went in they played games, so as far as I can see the children did not learn that there is a consequence to your decisions about striking. I am off course a 'horrible mother', and will let her stay at home tomorrow and tidy her room!

Re: General Strike
That is true unfortunately there seems to be no information other than stickers saying it is a day of strike stuck on lamposts I have said to her to try and find out if there is anything happening, I know last time some of the older children and some of the teachers staged a sit in on a roundabout but at the last general strike most of the protests seem to be 40km away and life in our town really went on as normal.

Don't worry it's in Spain ...probably never happen... most things don't or at least not on the day they say!!

Re: General Strike
I live in the middle of the city and can testify that the strikes and protests most definitely do happen when they say they will
