So far Dylan and I are just teaching our classes as normal, although many of the teachers at our schools have joined the strike (Not all of them joined, I should point out). Learners are due to start writing some of their exams tomorrow, which may or may not happen depending on how many teachers show up.
Teaching is such a different job here. Unlike in the States, where I think most people become teachers because they like working with kids, here many people become teachers just for the money. Hence the current strike to get more money while the learners are left without teachers just days before their exams...
Hoping this gets resolved quickly!
