"We are told not to take our children out of school. The govt just took a teacher out of school for jury duty for up to one month. The pupils will now have supply teachers and others. So the govt has disrrupted 30 pupils in one go. Result?
The Government has nothing to with the selection of jurors. The idea is juries are made of a cross section of society so inevitably some teachers will end up serving on a jury, just as there will be taxi drivers, hair dressers, actors etc etc on juries.
