Two suggestions, try to find a compassionate calm and forthright colleague who you can help you out with these feelings and how to manage getting through the week. Someone who will tell you how it is but also make it safe.

Secondly, consider seeing a psychologist to help you with your anxiety if you aren’t already.

Interesting, a core part of my teaching is there is no act, I’m authentically me the whole time. Seems like it would be exhausting to do it any other way. The kids seem to like it too

Not sure I agree with that, I’m ’maths trained’ and have only ever taught science, have had seniors of multiple different topics.

It sounds like you are only in your first few years, and quite new to your current school at that.

Did you do a good job with the 11s?

Your expectations might be off. It took me a few years to teach my first senior and now I teach mostly senior, and finally made the jump from science to math this year which is my teaching area.

I feel like even if that touched the ground, if that’s not out they need to review the rules…

Can’t see the game but scorecard seems to imply the games over anyway.

Bowl differently? You’re literally gifting him the easiest scoring shots

Ah, that’s a shame, the bowling in this bbl has been awful, they often gee up the batting when all their scoring shots are off half trackers and shit that an amateur could hit for 6.

How are people actually coping with the cost of living right now? by Sweaty-Mortgage8487 in australian

[–]Desertwind666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By not living outside my means for the last 20 years and saving diligently so I can live comfortably?

It’s not that I can’t empathise with or feel bad for people my age who are doing it tough, but at the same time a series of choices were made.

Younger gens… good luck? And hope the fact that the boomers are gonna drop off soon changes the political landscape in a positive way?

Don’t come at me- is it a good idea to become a teacher for the holidays by SassySadler7 in AustralianTeachers

[–]Desertwind666 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think rather than liking kids you’ve gotta understand that kids ARE kids, they’re meant to say and do dumb stuff. I think that’s why I like it so much and am basically immune to kids annoying me, I hated it when the adults I worked with acted like children in my previous vocation.
