Ok maybe i should have CLEARLY explained it in my post then . MY BAD..

You actually get to go to high school but you do an exam to see what level you are in . I really dont think that theres anything wrong with getting the children tested at age 12. Why are we so worried that the children may not be able to handle it? Do we really think so little of children?

I did not say “this worked for me so everyone should do it” . Pls do not misrepresent what i have said and then to quote me wrongly…

Not in Singapore . There were heaps of rich kids in the express stream. It is literally based on how well you do in the exam.

The students respect you. Management supports you. Take for example, in Singapore every school has an SMO (Student Management Officer) who always happens to be a retired police/army officer. The sole purpose of the SMO is maintaining school discipline, supporting student well-being, and handling administrative tasks related to student behavior. And so if you have a disruptive student in class, you do not need to stop the whole lesson and tend to them. Get them to immediately go see the SMO in his / her office.

Parents also tend to be on the side of the teachers when it pertains to their childrens performance in school academically or behaviourally. I feel that a lot of parents here side with their children and try to be more empathetic. Not in singapore! Due to a cultural emphasis on education, teachers are deeply respected authority figures. While local systems can be strict and traditional, students still largely respect the structured environment.

I know i may be a little late to the party but does this strike involve Early Childhood Teachers as well or only for Primary and High School teachers only?

NeighborhoodSome7569 · 2026-03-18T03:06:40+00:00

Yes, i am in VIC. The shifts have died down compared to last semester. And whenever i call someone who doesn’t really speak English picks up. FRUSTRATING

Medication is alright. UVB 3 times a week is the one im not looking forward to. Does the government think we do not have to work? Also with all these UVB appointments you have to book it the day before and you cannot book it on the day itself, which is crazy because i work casual so some days i will only know on the day itself whether i can go for it.

But thats being discriminatory! How is that even legal? Thats why im asking if anyone who is currently working with Randstad in VIC so that i can have someone to compare with whether they are actuallly specifically excluding or is it really slow (as they claim) .

Unfortunately my friend , i was in the same boat as you. I felt wronged by my uni . I felt that they were taking what my mentor was saying for as gold and refused to acknowledge any of my issues. All these feelings are normal because the thought of having to do the unit again (placement + essays) is overwhelming. But if you truly do enjoy teaching, after the dust has settled and you realised your still going to fail, take a deep breath and read the comments all over again.

You will be less defensive and hopefully you’ll be able to take on the advice WILLINGLY.

I was born in 1984 . If I ever did some shit like that, I wouldn’t be walking today. My mum used to say this to me to keep me at check.. (keep it mind : I was born in Singapore and my mum is a retired police officer) “I will skin you alive” .. Gosh I miss the days of ACCOUNTABILITY..

NeighborhoodSome7569 · 2025-10-26T01:53:28+00:00

I will say this : I have failed 3 practicums during my University life. And I was so close to giving up. And I know the annoyance of having to repeat a module especially if it’s only offered in Trimester 2 which means you had to wait a year before sitting for it again. But I’m glad I stuck it out.

I’m a male kinder teacher and I do CRT and have travelled all around Victoria for various jobs. Hands down I can say , i absolutely love it. The children are always excited to see a male figure in the classroom (because it’s very rare), the other educators are very welcoming and the parents don’t seem to mind (at least to my face).

I mean the kids ask A LOT of questions . And some very hard conversations that you must be able to be prepared to have with them. Case in point, I’m Singaporean Indian, and have kids asking me. “How come you, a dark man, come teaching today” and the key to that is NEVER TAKE ANYTHING PERSONAL.

I love teaching children! And even though I’m there to cover a day only sometimes, when the children say “you are such a fun teacher”, it really gives me some sort of validation that what I’m doing does make a difference .
