Hundreds of people have signed a petition calling for an immediate halt to rolling teacher strikes that are seeing thousands of students rostered off school.
The online petition launched by a parent says Year 9 to 13 students are missing valuable classroom time and parents are having to juggle work and supervision yet again.
Last week high school teachers rejected the Ministry of Education's latest pay offer.
Hamilton man Jono Skipwith has two children in years 8 and 9. He started the petition and spoke to Lisa Owen.
