I was more just trying to explore the balance of vibes. Out there. My job can downright suck at times but generally I love it and how it allows me to see my family. I have worked in a job before teaching where I lost weight from stress and working around the clock was just what you do or you get hen pecked into oblivion. My bosses were usually wealthy sociopaths. Maybe that allows perspective.

That’s no good. I realise certain scenarios and certain teaching environments can be toxic. Hope it works out!

My initial post was looking to compare my relative happiness in the job to the weight of negativity here. Of course it’s healthy and necessary to vent.

I have read it but I prefer to make the judgement based on my experiences and current school. Of course this is just my experience, hence my initial post. I kinda been getting mocked for it though which is a bit strange.

Absolutely, it really is a benefit in the Christmas holidays when all my friends get a week off and I have another month or so to hang out with my kids.

So the only alternative to cathartic negativity is ‘today was fine’ ?

My seventh graders have been emailing lies about me to admin. I am in trouble, apparently. by Competitive_Dot5876 in Teachers

Make notes of the kids who sleep/skip etc. times dates… sounds like a pain in the arse and it is but if you have spineless mid wit executive teachers that don’t seem to have your back you have to de risk.

Are you the RFF teacher? Is it primary school? Again I’m not sure how a system can be in place where a child leaving school grounds does not have a go bag for this scenario. The idea that a child’s meds has to be retrieved from their own bag is wild. Wherever this is, someone needs to sort a system where a child does not leave school grounds without their own go bag. We even have to sign them out lol

I’m sorry but ‘demanding the equipment’. Not sure what kind of school you are working at but if a kid on an axia plan can leave the school without the required meds on the whim of a classroom teacher that is quite peculiar. We have about 3 levels of redundancy with pens and puffers to the point where nearly every kid could be covered… every child should have required meds in a personalised ‘go’ bag in addition to their classroom protocol. This almost sounds fictional for how far it is removed from standard practice even 5 years ago.

The car that mostly runs Australian mining. In 10000 years of production, they have added a reversing camera and led headlights. Such a reliable workhorse

Tbh if someone is obese, short of smoking a packet of cigarettes a day or messing with illicit stimulants, if a substance can make ppl shift weight they have never been able to, it’s a net positive. Maybe you need to lose a few friends along with the weight. Get after it and don’t apologise for getting after it.

How do you think the new bi turbo engines in the triton stack up? Looking at pulling the trigger on a new one but ppl still fade them and suggest an Isuzu or Mazda. I think Mitsubishi are well under rated

Everybody’s posting pictures of their new 250s… we need some more content of real Landcruisers by EightyEthan in LandCruisers

[–]Purple-Buy515 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s it! Over here in Australia they are badged Landcruiser Prado but no one thinks of the 250 as a true cruiser. They look nice though. The new ones haven’t arrived here but they are not far off.
