Cash-strapped British teachers prepare to strike

London school teacher Lucy Preston will miss her son's fourth birthday on Thursday (February 2) because she has to work a second job in the evening as a private tutor to make sure she can pay for her childcare and mortgage. A day earlier, in the hope of earning a pay rise that will give her stretched household budget some relief, the single mother of two will join more than 120,000 other teachers on the picket line.
