NAGA MUNCHETTY has been slammed by BBC Breakfast viewers after her "poorly put" comments about teacher strike "disruption".
The TV presenter, 47, was joined by co-host Charlie Stayt, 60, this morning while they spoke of the upcoming teacher strikes.
Talking place in England and Wales on Wednesday, staff are calling for better pay – it will affect 23,000 schools in the UK.
Speaking to journalist Grainne Hallaham, Naga asked: "Do the schools have an obligation to tell you whether they will be open or not?"

She added: "The issue is it is massive disruption for parents and for children obviously, their education being disrupted.
"And for vulnerable children, those breakfast clubs, after school clubs for those who school is an escape and place of safety?"
Viewers quickly took to Twitter to air their thoughts on Naga's comments, with one saying: "An incredibly & shockingly biased account of the teaching strike."
Another wrote: "Why is Naga giving conjecture about the safety of schools based on strike action."
A third penned: "Naga talking about the impact of strikes on parents with them having to make alternative 'childcare' arrangements."
"I'm all teachers are happy to be seen by #BBCBreakfast as merely childcare," said a fourth. "Poorly put," they added.
One concluded: "Oh dear! #BBCBreakfast in full 'Tut tut' mode over #TeacherStrike. How about the reasons for this action?"
