What the petition asks
As a teacher, I can't praise the support staff enough! They really are an asset to schools and I feel if schools had more funding, you would see better results both academically and when dealing with well being and behaviour of the children.
I would love for support staff to get the credit they deserve. I would appreciate the help and support in such a time consuming and tough job. Even more so since we're now catching up on missed schooling.
