More than 50,000 teachers across Queensland have gone on strike the largest action of its kind in 16 years.
Mainstream media has framed it as a fight over pay. But the teachers we spoke to say it’s about something much deeper: violence in classrooms, crippling workloads, and a system that no longer values the people inside it.
