Do you think primary teachers and principals should be striking? Thousands of teachers have taken industrial action on Wednesday, with dozens of rallies planned around the country. They aim to gain attention for better pay, conditions and incentives to attract new teachers. Although about 30,000 people in the profession are involved in the strike, not everyone agrees with it.
So, what are your thoughts on the strike? Do you think teachers deserve better pay? Or should they have stayed around the negotiating table for longer? Are you a teacher or parent with views on the topic? Let us know in the replies!

Porirua City Council has granted Housing New Zealand resource consent to develop 53 two-storey dwellings, ranging in size between one and five bedrooms, in eastern Porirua’s Castor Loop area on a plot that has been empty for nine years.
The development will be part of a wider building programme that will see Wellington's state housing stock increase by as many as 145 homes, with even more planned for the rest of the country. A Housing NZ spokesman said the organisation planned to hold further meetings to update the community, following an initial design meeting back in March.

Five top Wellington comedians are amping to inflict you with a good belly-laugh on Friday August 24th at Porirua's beautiful Gear Homestead.
Mana College teacher Gabby Anderson won this year's Raw Comedy Quest 2018 best new New Zealand Comedian award. Peter Lambert, a.k.a. Patch, was one of five nominees for the Billy T. Award in 2017. Jim is a top Wellington comedian who learned her craft alongside premier comics Dai Henwood, Steve Wrigley and Ben Hurley.
Event organiser, and self-confessed 'old man of comedy' Greg Ellis, who will be busting out improv with Richard Falkner, says this is a chance to enjoy a great comedy line-up for a good cause.
Money raised will help fund Titahi Bay Intermediate's September school camp. Doors open at 6.30pm and the event starts at 7.30pm.
Tickets ($30 which includes meat or vegetarian nachos) are available by emailing tbissg@gmail.com or from Titahi Bay Intermediate weekdays 8.30am-3.30pm.
