A teacher keeping a diary of her daily routine says "I don't think I'll have any hair left by the end of the year". Sally Gould, a mathematics teacher in Manchester, kept the audio diary ahead of strike action by NUT members in England and Wales. The national strike action, on Wednesday 26 March, is part of a dispute over pay, pensions and conditions. The main issues in the dispute are the introduction of a new performance-related pay structure and a reformed pension package. The government has said the strike action would damage children's education and be unpopular with parents.
