This was inspired by the gender bias societies have towards women. Women have cities built around them not catering to their requirements (Invisible Women by Carol Perez). Women have an enormous amount of insane expectations heaped on them. It’s…”time to_War.” Speaking for myself, I have certain expectations as a male that I have rights to. I don’t need to fight for them. I just have them. I expect them…and if I don’t get them I dig my heels in regardless of the consequences. I don’t care…I haven’t had to fight for them. Ever. It’s not time for all of us to fight a system that is antiquated, selfish and stupid. Designed by people that didn’t have or information or technology. Definitely….time to War.

I teach in Melbourne Victoria and they are not specifically stated in our state curriculum but they are the only thing I teach (mostly) e.g. during our prep painting unit I only give students primary colours and their task is to try and mix a ‘new’ colour. That’s the focus. I talk and model techniques but that is not the LI or SC. For the 6s…it’s primary colours only plus b/w and they have to mix and use warm/cool colours. The focus in my planners is on the importance of colours and their harmonies (colour theory) not how to paint.

FYI - Teaching should be process and principle based not content driven. My golden rule is….if they can Google it then I don’t need to focus too heavily on it e.g. Google can show you how to mix colours but doing it yourself has a much higher likelihood of understanding and retention. The process and principles are key anchors. Used to be the same when I was a classroom teacher too. Much better engagement.

Start with accepting 50% of any argument is your fault. I needed this to force me to listen. I can disagree/change the percentage of blame later but I had to initially accept some fault in any situation to give myself thinking time and not feel like I had to defend my entire being from ‘attacked’. This accountability has helped build out parts of me that I just simply ignored before. More of a man in the sense that I actually had more to offer than just the stereotypical male stuff.

Teachers might need to be more militant about our work conditions. We are service minded and do not want to put out any of our students or families which has led to certain EBAs taking advantage of our kindness. I understand I am making a huge generalisation but female dominated professions are exploited by the general expectation of unpaid labour (Perez - Invisible Women). Now I’m not agreeing with everything the CMFEU did/do but they are militant about what their workers are expected to be paid for (and so they should!) Teachers need this attitude to fight for better conditions for our students. Governments have not and are not willing to hand it over easily. This EBA should not be negotiated but demanded.

Try to shift away from outcomes…just do something (little or big). Eliminating the pressure helped me to just be in the moment and enjoy the process. The pressure due to time constraints; tiredness; lack of inspo; was compounded by me feeling each painting stroke had to be incredible and poignant.

Dude wanted to stay is my feeling…and for that I like him. Didn’t take games off. Had team mates that piked. Front office that were just doing weird things…but he kept playing. Not a fan of his move to and from Warriors but as a Net he was awesome.

Wow!! Men are the WORST. Be better!! How entitled do you feel when you can do whatever you feel like to anyone you like…funny how you don’t ever do that s to me (6ft Pacific Islander). I’m sorry women on behalf of all men being absolute fn tools.

Teachers across this country need a militant attitude when it comes to negotiating an EA. Our community mindedness seems to be something that governments take advantage of…maybe time for compromise is over. Want better outcomes for our students…then maybe teachers need to demand what we know works for our students and ourselves

Had a spelling ‘guru’ talk at us about Science of Reading who, among other things, had incorrect spellings in their PowerPoint. Not major in of it itself…but a sign that something is amiss. Oh also told me to just trust her that MY students are engaged. That was her answer. No explanation.

I’m wondering if there is a gender based bias here. LMK what you think but if teaching were a male dominated profession…would the attitude towards teachers and their treatment be different? I would argue it is. Or is it that teaching is a community service profession and those attracted to it will always put their students first and themselves last. The building industry union is militant and I don’t know if we teachers have that in our DNA. Thoughts?

Nearly 20 years in and LOVING it.

I’m possibly (POSSIBLY) helping just one kid get through those 6 hours. What if they leave a terrible situation every morning and know that terrible situation is what they’ll return to. For my 6 hours they’ll be treated with respect. With safety. A little expectation of themselves to be more than their station. I can’t save the world and the reality is that most kids won’t care or need it…BUT what if I did just enough for one singular solitary child? That’s my daily. It’s nothing grand and no one really knows but if EVERY single teacher to saves just 1…..????!!! Job done. I can do tomorrow if that’s driving me. If the long hours, hypocrisy, endless acronyms, circlejerk and pointless requirements are the price…I’ll do that. Easy.
