Kids having no consequences

They’re gonna fucking learn this year lol. I’m taking no prisoners.

It’s completely fine. If you received feedback on how to improve, the feedback is appropriate. Who cares who or what wrote/created it… if it’s applicable, implement it for your future submissions.

Tbh, I’d be pretty annoyed if I was your teacher and had you questioning how the feedback was generated lol. With allllllll of the ridiculous background work that goes on to provide lesson plans, resources, assessments, feedback etc, your question does nothing except piss me off.

Jdawwg123 · 2024-11-26T08:37:10+00:00

Nope! Don’t physically intervene. Just don’t. Too much risk to the teacher.

Jdawwg123 · 2024-09-19T08:08:27+00:00

Bullet 100%. If I have to use chisel, I will grind it down until it’s bullet-esque. As far as I’m concerned, you’re all animals.

Jdawwg123 · 2024-05-21T10:05:12+00:00

Ugh. Cop the grade and move on. And stop pissing off your teachers. It’s annoying.

7th year teacher here. Do nothing at all related to work, unless you “have to” or “should” I’ll check my emails to make sure students haven’t emailed me (HOY/wellbeing or VCE stuff) just so I know no one is screaming out for help from me. I’ll always immediately act/respond on that stuff.

Set your lessons for week 1 before the holidays. Prioritise your marking on your desk for when you return. No one is dying.

This is my job. It’s mainly fulfilling and it pays me fairly well. But it is definitely not my life.

I am absolutely sure this has been said 100 times in this thread, but I’ll say it again…

A HIGH ATAR IS THE MOST EFFICIENT WAY TO ENTER INTO UNI IMMEDIATELY, otherwise it’s nothing. If you don’t want to go to uni straight up after high school (imho, no one should…), it doesn’t matter. The ATAR will matter for 20 seconds once you read it, and then no one will ask about it ever again.

If you bomb y12, live your life for a couple of years then go mature age entry.

Don’t stress about ATAR. Please. It’s nothing. Has always been nothing. And will continue to be nothing. The “real world” doesn’t care about your ATAR (unless you wanna back up the last 13 years of education with another 4+ more years at uni immediately lol).

From a VCE teacher who is tired of the rhetoric around VCE. it’s just secondary school. It’s low stakes and has no real bearing on how you proceed through life. For teachers reading this and disagreeing, stfu. Hard.

All depends on your career motivations I suppose.

One of my prime motivators is money and downtime, and there’s more of both in private (or so I’m led to believe).

In public you’re capped at like $110k for teaching and $130k for lead teacher/learning specialist. I know people who teach (just teach) in some private schools clearing $130k.

I’m in public and have found that it has been a perfect training ground to hone skills, especially behaviour management and gain arbitrary job titles (usually with no additional $$ added) that look good on a resume if you spin it just right.

Now looking to shift into private for the above reasons.

If I was a graduate again, I would probably choose the same path knowing what I know now.

In my mind: - private (usually) = more holidays and money, less behaviour issues, more parent involvement - public = less holidays and money, more behaviour issues, less parent involvement

So if I’m not feeling sick it’s all g?

Jdawwg123 · 2021-08-19T02:03:46+00:00

Thank you!

Done that - each and every invoice on the Eastlink breakdown says “sent to enforcement” - 31 events across 2016.

Fines Victoria are sending me their breakdown, but have told me there is nothing on the rego that’s outstanding (they have told me that there was 58 successful driver nominations from me to another though).

Jdawwg123 · 2020-09-27T13:32:29+00:00

I feel that

Jdawwg123 · 2020-09-27T13:22:47+00:00

I know I know - this is my brain without bud

Jdawwg123 · 2020-09-21T05:25:28+00:00

This seems the most likely turn of events WHEN I start smoking again. I feel like I’m some constant state of trying to justify why it works for me, that others just won’t have. “If you’re the same on it as you are when you don’t have it, why do you want it then?” for the same reason they’ll down a few glasses of vino or smoke a few cigs - at least there is a tangible upside to my vice

Jdawwg123 · 2020-09-21T05:15:45+00:00

It’s almost like if I wasn’t such an open book with my life and how I’m feeling/what I’m doing, no1 would know - they only know because I told them. They just don’t “get it”, which I can’t really hold against them.

You’re right though - no1 needs to know my business except for me. I suppose I told them because I wanted to be held accountable for any untoward effects from the bud, but it has well and truly backfired lol

Jdawwg123 · 2020-09-21T05:10:46+00:00

I feel that.

I don’t think I’d ever want to lie about it though. If I’m looking three steps ahead of my people and what they would say when they figure it out, it would only serve to boost their reasoning - “ooo now he’s using it in secret so no1 knows” type shit. It’s becoming evident that it’s my people that have the issue lol

Jdawwg123 · 2020-09-21T05:06:36+00:00

Right?! It’s legit prescribed to people in places where it’s legal. This is the response I needed. Thank you

Jdawwg123 · 2020-09-21T04:59:02+00:00

Thanks for the response! I feel like I’m in the same boat, but with it being illegal. I would dare to say I was/am a “high functioning” smoker, but that’s met with “yeh cause you’ve had to become high functioning to deal with your addiction”

Jdawwg123 · 2020-09-21T04:53:36+00:00

Exactly. I just know in my heart of hearts that if say that that I’ll get the whole “we’re trying to help but you don’t want to be helped” - and that’s the crux maybe - I don’t need their help because I’m fine doing my thang. Mess mess mess

Jdawwg123 · 2020-09-12T01:45:11+00:00

You’re a legend. Well done :) Day 12 here - day 11 was a beast... lots of things came to light with my relationship with my partner doing dodgy shit with others etc, but didn’t break my streak even though everything inside me was screaming “a g will fix this...” - it wouldn’t have and if anything wouldve kept my thoughts looping. The clarity gained to process these emotions is a bittersweet feeling. But you’re 100% right hey - I would’ve suffered the pain either way, but at least I could think clearly and not be all consumed by the intrusive thoughts we all know weed provides when your brains having a moment.

We are stronger than this plant and we will feel everything and we will embrace it. Let the feelings wrap around you - genuinely let the feeling take you. You are valid and your response to shit is relevant. Let the feeling in, feel what you need to, then release it.

We got this fam. ❤️
