What do you think about the teachers' strike? Thousands of Canterbury primary school teachers and principals are striking across the region today.
About 143 primary schools have closed, affecting around 50,000 school children. It's the third in a series of rolling strikes, and even bigger strikes including both primary and secondary school teachers haven't been ruled out yet.
Teachers say the strike action is calling for better pay and working conditions, more learning support, including for children with special needs, and smaller class sizes.
So, do you support the strike action? Or do you think they should have accepted the previous offer? Are you a striking teacher? Or a parent that's been affected by the strike action? Let us know your thoughts in the replies below.

Women enjoy just as much success and job satisfaction as their male colleagues and sometimes leave the guys in their wake.
A great example is Pasifika student Tepora Rokotavo who did a pre-trade course in electrical studies with us at Ara Institute of Canterbury. Tepora achieved 93% in her final exams – an outstanding result – and is now on her way to becoming a qualified electrician. We love helping female students into trades careers.

Be aware, police have identified a new telephone scam targeting New Zealanders. If you receive an angry call from someone seeking compensation for car damages, hang up. To read more, click here.
What you need to know:
- The call will be from an international number that's then redirected through a local number.
- The aggressive scammer could be very convincing.
- Upon answering, they demand money for damages from a vehicle collision they claim you were involved in.
- Police are urging people to warn elderly relatives so they do not fall victim to the scam and lose money.
- If you receive a call of this nature, police advise you to hang up immediately.
Christchurch City Council's chief executive Karleen Edwards has apologised after a review into the chlorination of the city's water supply found a "lack of a cohesive system" in how the council managed compliance.
White Ribbon is asking men to take the online pledge and stand up, speak out and act to prevent men's violence towards women.
