A Wellington teacher believes parents will continue to support them as they fight for better work conditions.

Thousands of primary school teachers and principals will be striking today.

Many will be rallying across the country with some marching to Parliament in the capital.

Worser Bay School teacher Carl Pynenburg told Mike Hosking many parents he's spoken to are bringing kids along to rallies.

"They stand in support of the teachers. They understand that what we are asking for is the best for them, for their kids."
