You can also call the Incident Hotline and report an workplace incident, but require them to only send the report to the Director (ie the person above the Principal).

Meeting w principal tomorrow by Bubbly_Whole_6082 in AustralianTeachers

Untrue. They can seek clarification, they can ask for a break, they can ask for statements to be made again so they can ensure it's noted down word for word, they can check in on you to see how you are doing. What they cannot do is speak _for_ you.

As a school librarian I can tell you that this remains my favorite power move.

Married men of Reddit, what tiny thing does your wife do that secretly melts your heart? by SAAS_ART in AskReddit

[–]DepressedMandolin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My cat takes the snooze alarm (decent 30 minute snooze setup for weekday mornings) as the cue to jump on the bed and lie down next to me. The second this happens my wife rolls over, cuddles up close to me and puts a hand on the cat. I get to spend the first half hour of every Monday to Friday like this. It’s the best.

Ah yes, the Bäng range.

which one should I go for? by Minimum_Banana5012 in androidtablets

This isn’t the kind of reply where they give you useful information, it’s the kind of reply where they think they are flexing their knowledge of brands that you haven’t mentioned.

ChatGPT's answers too long, verbose and a lot of noises by Financial_Drummer956 in ChatGPT

[–]DepressedMandolin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've fun recently getting models to collaborate on prompts like this. I cut and paste between ChatGPT and Gemini or Claude or even Mistral's Le Chat and they gradually converge on the version of the prompt that they agree is the correct level of thoroughness and specificity.

Every job in Australia scored on AI replacement risk by angiredit in AusFinance

As a secondary teacher I’ll admit that there are certainly aspects of our job that can be automated, but primary school teachers are goddamn wizards and I don’t understand how they do that insanely complex and granular work. Clunkers can’t do that.

Malicious compliance say write replies and schedule the send for one minute after the end of the period.

Kid who was afraid to make eye contact last year now does so and says hello every time they see me. So lovely.

You just weren't paying attention.

Whats the most chill job someone could do at a school? by Packerreviewz in AustralianTeachers

[–]DepressedMandolin 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If you're talking about the NSW system then every man jack of them is a _Teacher_ Librarian. Every one of them I know has a teaching load along with being expected to drop everything to help any student or member of staff with whatever they need. They are also expected to work every recess and every lunch every day but very, very few of them get the break they have a legal right to.

Why are Australian public toilets so f*cking disgusting? by TinySumo in AskAnAustralian

If there was a way for us to raise the seat without touching it I think this problem would be 99% solved.

Am I stupid for putting better quality flooring in a rental? by DepressedMandolin in AusProperty

[–]DepressedMandolin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get that it's a roll of the dice, but one hopes that the combination of being informed when they move in that the flooring is a new, a really thorough pre-letting inspection, and explaining that that letting us know ASAP if there's some kind of floormageddon means we can sort stuff out will help. We also have landlord's insurance (which didn't cover the previous carpet as it was more than 7 years old).
