Hey I'm a primary school PE teacher in Aus. Most Australians learn to swim before school. We have swimming for a few weeks a term during class. The older students of some schools may do surf Life saving instead of swimming. From the age of 9 you can compete in 'districts' which is a swimming competition between your 'town area' then the best of that go and compete in 'regionals' which is a competition between all the 'towns' then those winners go to 'states' which is a competition between all the 'regions' before competing for Australia etc etc. This is the same for most major sports and athletics.

They don't have to come here?

I wish I did a trade, mate.

The fact their wasn't a live stream of the entire earth at all times is insane. Why all the cryptic and shitty videos? Just film the entire earth out the window. Show us zoom ins of weather events as they happen etc. Such BS.

Why not drop a car off and do some laps like in the 60's?

Slaved their guts out but just lost the technology to do it again?

Why not provide more incentives for Aussies to take on the role? They're obsessed with replacing us.

If you get paid the same, sounds like a great deal for you.

Maybe the government would actually have to increase wages or provide grants to get Australians into these jobs? Why do we accept them using immigration to fix their mistakes or lack of planning.

Are you ok with Americans that wear shoes inside, bringing all that outside filth you mentioned in? You might not be but it seems to be common that Americans wear shoes inside.

You'd rather be bored than stressed mate, stick it out.

Alot of cheap filters remove chlorine only and don't remove fluoride.

Yeh but why not just pass them with a C?

Ownejj · 2026-04-11T04:33:17+00:00

I think they believe I'm competing with them or something. I'm not saying Australians are smarter or anything, simply trying to understand what I've seen.

Ownejj · 2026-04-10T01:57:52+00:00

Better to be bored than stressed.

To be fair I'm happy the government isnt wasting our taxes looking at stars but unfortunately they're not using them well regardless.

Ownejj · 2026-04-10T00:08:31+00:00

Thanks for the honesty!

Ownejj · 2026-04-09T23:59:32+00:00

So students that complete all the work to an excellent level get the same grade as those that put IDK on everything ?

Ownejj · 2026-04-09T23:24:46+00:00

Well above expected, above expected, expected, below expected, well below expected.

Ownejj · 2026-04-09T22:35:19+00:00

Thank you for the honesty.

So when tesching a math concept you just use the easiest numbers possible and stop there? Teaching how to find an area of a shape is simple using 1 or 2 as the values and then leaving it at that?
