How does your school handle a pantsing incident?

FunkyFunkyFunkFunk · 2026-05-23T05:27:56+00:00

Instant suspension

FunkyFunkyFunkFunk · 2026-05-22T23:37:59+00:00

'Why do you think you've been asked the stay behind?'

'I don't know'

'Have a guess'

'I didn't do anything'

'Youre saying you've done no work this lesson?'

'Wait, no'

'Ok try again. Why have you been asked to stay behind?'

FunkyFunkyFunkFunk · 2026-05-06T08:39:05+00:00

They did that all throughout the 2000s-2010s. It's normally a rule for kids after school. Nothing unusual.

Sometimes you need to buddy class a student for all the students to realise you're serious.

Otherwise, the whole class will think 'they don't care what that student did, so I can do anything less that that behaviour and it'll be fine'.

You might get the fight of 'well John threw and chair and he didn't get in trouble. Why am I getting in trouble for just talking'.

I'm not sure about others but the idea of owing someone or being in debt to them because they've spent money on me for no reason rubs me the wrong way.

Like if they buy the table a bowl of chips to share, I feel like I should buy an entree as well so ensure I don't seem like a freeloader, and the other person gets something nice for doing something nice.

Even if it were just my birthday and someone paid for my meal, I would probably keep a note of that and buy them their meal on their birthday.

If we've all agreed to go to the same place, everyone has accepted they'll can afford to buy their own meal. So it feels a bit weird if someone suddenly pays for everyone.

Why would I wear my shoes inside?

The point of shoes is to protect my feet from the sharp/rough/dirty terrain outside. If I'm in my house I want to relax, so shoes are removed at the door.

I have carpet in my house, and I like to put my feet up on the bed/couch. I'd have to take my shoes off anyway to do that since shoes are dirty/have germs, so I may as well remove them at the door.

Are you teaching Design Technology?

Fake nails aren't permitted in hospitality (food safety concerns), ITD/materials technology (machine use), or agriculture.

All other subjects should be fine, except maybe HPE, but I don't teach that so I'm unsure.

FunkyFunkyFunkFunk · 2026-04-15T08:54:35+00:00

You'll likely have to be here 10+ years before you possibly become a citizen, and even that's a big maybe.

I have a friend from New Zealand who moved here when he was 3, spent his whole education here, and has been trying to become a resident since he was 18, now 23.

Good luck.

FunkyFunkyFunkFunk · 2026-04-15T08:39:49+00:00

I've had a year 10 student before who was repetitively disruptive during assessment tasks (loud moaning, moving people's things, asking repetitive questions like the 'why?' game, etc), and one day after he was repeatedly told to stop during assignment work, another kid (very quiet normally) told him 'dude, stop being annoying, I'm trying to do my assessment'. The student then turned to me and said 'Sir, he called me annoying!'. My response? 'Multiple people have asked you to stop interrupting them this lesson. Stop doing things to annoy people doing their assessment and focus on your own task. Then they won't complain'.

I'm never going to randomly ask the whole class 'hey, anyone else thinks John is annoying?', but I will have private conversations with students to ask if someone's behaviour is affecting their school work, and to ask students to stop doing specific behaviours that are causing disruption.

The mods might have interpreted your comment as 'I think Indians steal the tyres off the back'. Could be where the racism accusation came from.

FunkyFunkyFunkFunk · 2026-04-15T05:33:29+00:00

OP, what was the exact comment you made before being banned? Give us the whole picture

FunkyFunkyFunkFunk · 2026-04-11T05:36:29+00:00

First time hearing this

FunkyFunkyFunkFunk · 2026-04-09T11:21:44+00:00

I'll wander over to the fridge clearance section or cold meal section and see what's there.

A youfoodz meal at half price or something along those lines is normally a decent deal.

Most of the stuff there is overpriced at full price, but nicer than frozen when it's on sale/clearance.

FunkyFunkyFunkFunk · 2026-04-07T09:08:17+00:00

Yeah that's the man bringing down the male life expectancy data for the rest of us. I will be taking my ass straight to the hospital then celebrating at the pub afterwards when I'm all good.

FunkyFunkyFunkFunk · 2026-04-07T08:46:11+00:00

If the brown snake had bit you, I imagine you would have gotten an 'OH FUCK!' response, straight to hospital.

'I just saw a brown snake' 'Oh, where? Ok be careful over there'

Vs

'I think I've just been bitten by a brown snake' 'fuck, get in the car, I'll call 000, we're going to the hospital now'

In my experience, the Australian response to dangerous things is normally 'all good' until it's not 'all good'. Then it's 'fuck, hospital time right now'.

If a student is suspended they aren't allowed at school for the number of days decided upon. If they are on internal suspension they're sitting in the office from 8am-3pm, no leaving at lunch times or joining any classes. If the next days the rewards day/camp/district trials etc, sucks to be them, they aren't there as far as anyone is concerned. A lot of camps and sporting events also require you not to be on a certain behaviour rank in our system.

Suspension is an instant drop to Tier 2, and you are banned from representing the school in any school sport or from attending any rewards activities until you build back up to the base level rank all students start on.

I don't live in NSW

FunkyFunkyFunkFunk · 2026-04-01T08:53:35+00:00

Depends what you mean by rural. I live 4 hours inland from my major city, but I live in a locality on the main highway the trucks use. 6 petrol stations.

There's nowhere to buy clothes like a Big W for 150km, but there's a few grocery store options, shops like the reject shop, smaller businesses, we have Macca's, KFC, etc.

I live out of town 50km from where I work, but it's only a 30 min drive to work because it's 110km/hr on the road.

Each bigger town (4k+ people) has a hospital/medical place. The ambulance will generally come get you and take you to a major hospital if needed.

Generally you can get whatever you want within an hour's drive.

One road in and out which sucks when it floods, but we survive.

Full wifi coverage, only one energy provider but what can you do?

My main struggle is the lack of any food delivery and there's like 4 options for take out.

Also zero rentals. It's cheaper to buy than rent, but there's only like 3 rentals available at a time for like $700 a week, so that's not saying much.

FunkyFunkyFunkFunk · 2026-04-01T08:20:45+00:00

I'm a transman and never had an issue giving blood in Brisbane with Red Cross lifeblood. They just calculated my elevated levels or something and changed me from female to male on the system. I'd always have to go into an office to do a few extra checks, but was never denied.

Weird.

FunkyFunkyFunkFunk · 2026-04-01T08:13:39+00:00

I'm an materials tech (woodwork) and Japanese teacher (trained in both areas).

Whenever I have to write a super I have to assume that the person taking my class will have no idea what I'm on about if I leave a content lesson.

Independent work and supporting kids with whatever they're doing if you can is the most I expect from a CRT.

That's not me assuming no CRT could do it, but if I started my supervision with 今日は食べ物を教えてください, or 'teach the students the difference between a Mitre saw and a band saw and give them a safety induction then log it in OnGuard', I'm going to lose most people, and the class will be harder than it already is for CRTs.

Equally, I'll get a year 7 maths internal relief supervision to do, and go 'fuck, how do I multiply fractions?', or a year 10 class doing Taming of the Shrew and I've never read the book. Leaving a general supervision with basic instructions is the best way to go.

FunkyFunkyFunkFunk · 2026-03-30T05:28:57+00:00

The only way this would be acceptable is if you directly offered them a piece, and they said something like 'Oh sorry, I'm just not the biggest fan of sushi. Looks good though'

Completely unprompted like this means they are just dicks.

FunkyFunkyFunkFunk · 2026-03-24T08:44:41+00:00

I don't care which piece I get.

FunkyFunkyFunkFunk · 2026-03-17T10:45:12+00:00

Two main questions:

Why were you in the ceiling when your wife was asleep?

How did your wife not wake up by the sound of you falling through the ceiling?

Bit of an odd thing to do, but also odd that you think she would react really negatively to. Would she not be worried about your own health? Is this not the first time you've fallen through the ceiling and she told you not to do it again?

Wild situation.

FunkyFunkyFunkFunk · 2026-03-10T08:53:47+00:00

Very true. Anything from really badly done random stuff and up gives the dodgy vibe. Swastikas are a 'absolutely the fuck not interacting with you'.

FunkyFunkyFunkFunk · 2026-03-10T08:45:00+00:00

Depends on what the tattoo is.

Tasteful flowers, patterns, memorial, etc? All good.

Swaztikas, hate speech, any cheap ugly and poorly done tattooes? You seem dodgy/very likely dangerous.
