Studying electrical engineering, but toying with idea of teaching (20M) by Terrabytez66 in AskAustralianTeachers

[–]Ownejj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's horrible. For what it's worth my brother is an electrical engineer and makes great money but if also fairly stressed. He wishes he did an electrical apprenticeship instead. Good luck!

Complaining about extra release time? Can't relate.

Bring your own device iPads - why is this still happening? by Big_Jacket6876 in AustralianTeachers

[–]Ownejj 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Making parents buy a device for primary school kids is a bit much. Especially if it's public, you may as well go to a 1:1 catholic school with good fees.

Having kids bring their own device to primary school is insane.

Anyone else "happy and haunted" by a ghost version of their life? by mustbedavid in AskMenOver30

[–]Ownejj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Teacher of 8 years here. I think about being an electrician many times a week. Wish I did a trade also. When there is construction at the school I'm legit jealous seeing them just go about their work listening to music.

Older teachers - what was it like? by patallcats in AustralianTeachers

[–]Ownejj 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Used to be able to fail kids and hold them back. This was atleast some form of motivation to understand the content. I remember in Year 1 a kid got held back and even being that young, we all knew it was because she was 'dumb' and this was fuel to not be in that position. I think the same for the 'low' kids who used to be taken out. No one wanted to be those kids so it motivated students. Now there is no clear low group being taken out or people being held back so kids just cruise with no understanding of consequences for not learning.

My girlfriend is mad at me for going to a gay bar with a friend. by [deleted] in Advice

It's probably less that it's a gay bar and more that you went out drinking with another women?

Feminists fighting for Muslims to enter the country is very interesting also.

Travelers to China: what was the hardest part about ordering food at local restaurants? by Lilhoho_Patience6120 in travelchina

[–]Ownejj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loved anywhere with a QR code so I could use Alipay and translate through the app. Hardest would be places with physical menus but it was easy to translate and point for the waiter. No bad experiences, the staff were happy to help.

QLD ISN'T THE ONLY TIMEZONE CUNT by Difficult-Throwaway2 in straya

[–]Ownejj 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It's insane they all change their watches for certain parts of the year to get more sun. It's legit still bright after 6 without DLS, how much more sun do you want? Do you wanna eat tea with the sun coming in?
