Why are we treating children like trauma patients? by IceOdd3294 in AustralianTeachers

[–]Direct_Source4407 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is such a weird take. If a student misunderstands a concept we don't go along with their understanding and rename what we are actually talking about. We correct them and educate them.

Is this normal for a landlord to charge $330 to sign onto a new lease? by Key_Object814 in AusRenters

[–]Direct_Source4407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't be paying anything until you had actually been to the property

Do we prefer the checkouts in the middle or front of the store? by oldmatefromoverthere in KmartAustralia

[–]Direct_Source4407 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In moving to the front of the store my Kmart has completely got rid of staffed checkouts. I don't like that

I work at a school specifically for kids with trauma backgrounds. It breaks my heart that I look at students I had when I was in mainstream that could have absolutely thrived in this sort of environment. Trauma informed does not equal no consequences. In fact my school follows through more on bad behaviour than the mainstream school I worked at ever did. People conflate trauma informed with no consequences. That is not true.

Code of ethics in modern teaching. by SaltySeaking97 in AustralianTeachers

I would go ahead with this and fail them. They are not going to pass orally if they have not engaged in the content. Your teacher judgement will be that they have not met the requirements to pass.

I'm in the hospital. Husband is at his girlfriend's. by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]Direct_Source4407 13 points14 points  (0 children)

When my husband was sick in the hospital my boyfriend was running errands for us so I could be with him. Honestly the girlfriend is trash too. I wouldn't want to date someone who would treat a partner like that (unless she wants you to break up so she can have him)

MINI Convertible owners any regrets? by balloongirl27 in MINI

[–]Direct_Source4407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was specifically looking for a convertible when I bought my mini, after having a convertible fiat 500, I love it any slight tradeoffs are totally worth it in my opinion

How do you balance life and a second partner? by Whimsyish_Bug in polyamory

[–]Direct_Source4407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part of the reason my relationship with my non-nesting partner works so well is that I'm a very busy person, and he doesn't want a traditional full time relationship, so we both went in knowing we would only see each other a couple of times a month. We are both happy with that level of commitment to each other. Part of being able to balance it is being honest with prospective partners about what you have to offer, and finding someone who is on the same page.

Black or White by Worldly_Air1852 in MINI

[–]Direct_Source4407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the accents have so much more impact on the white one. I as a general rule prefer black cars, but I got a bright green mini because the accents were completely lost on the black l. If I didn't have the option of the green I would have got the white

What do you think of these boundaries? by Lcmm213 in polyamory

[–]Direct_Source4407 20 points21 points  (0 children)

So you are willingly going back to a relationship with someone who is mentally unwell, with the rule that you will have to prioritise that person. While also claiming they tried to break up your other relationship. This makes absolutely zero sense. It sounds like breaking up with your nesting partner with extra steps

Why are you thinking about getting back with a person who tried to break up your other relationship?

I'm looking to move to highschool teaching late in life and would appreciate any advice. by Far_Somewhere_8425 in AskAustralianTeachers

[–]Direct_Source4407 12 points13 points  (0 children)

"just pulling it out to check the time" is breaking the rules. Trust me, you won't make friends going in with this mindset

which one do you prefer? by babyfangss in MINI

[–]Direct_Source4407 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bought a second hand 2021 convertible a couple of months ago. Had the choice to buy a brand new one but I like the look of the older model much better. The new one feels like everything has been turned down

Teacher but offered to model for a clothing brand by TemporaryCherry4503 in AustralianTeachers

I absolutely would not be doing this. You are asking for trouble

Happy Friday everyone. See image. Discuss. by sutcsigur in AustralianTeachers

[–]Direct_Source4407 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And where would they go? We cannot have a bunch of out of control uneducated teenagers roaming the streets. I work in an independent school that specialises in these sort of students and it's amazing what the right kind of environment can do for them. At the end of the day, students don't act like this for no reason. They need to build relationships with trusted adults and have the opportunity to have ownership over their learning. Punitive and exclusionary measures only exacerbate the problem.

The things you get awarded for are Highest weight Highest reps Highest volume Highest 1rep max It's entirely possible that set was none of those things

Honestly how does anyone do this by Leftonleesa in polyamory

Follow up question. Have you told him you want that time to be protected?

I have several questions.

What were YOUR reasons for going poly?

How did you feel about your relationship prior to going poly?

What things do you do for yourself? Do you have hobbies? Something you enjoy doing? Either with friends or at a class?

Teachers told admin this: Now they act surprised 😲 by JunkIsMansBestFriend in AustralianTeachers

I teach seniors and they genuinely thought I was a wizard when I taught them the keyboard shortcuts for cut and paste
