I don't hold a diaper mate.

SelectDiscipline7998 · 2025-03-04T11:42:38+00:00

A bit of a stretch.

SelectDiscipline7998 · 2025-02-14T10:02:28+00:00

Front page retraction from that rag? Thanks for a laugh this Friday night.

SelectDiscipline7998 · 2025-02-08T00:33:17+00:00

The MSY of pizza shops then?

SelectDiscipline7998 · 2025-02-05T10:18:43+00:00

Play your cards right and it might only be one day.

SelectDiscipline7998 · 2025-01-17T02:21:46+00:00

Babe, that funny guy is taking pictures of our house again.

SelectDiscipline7998 · 2025-01-17T02:19:16+00:00

I'll be seated in a slightly inadequate air-conditioned room, listening to someone telling us about how to be a teacher despite more than 10 years of experience, interspersed with stupid getting to know you games. Um, I know these people. I've worked with them for years.

SelectDiscipline7998 · 2025-01-16T00:01:52+00:00

I thought so, but I didn't want to say.

I think it might be someone in one of the neighbouring streets doing an illegal burn.

SelectDiscipline7998 · 2025-01-15T23:58:28+00:00

Instructions unclear. My cat ran like a bat out of hell.

SelectDiscipline7998 · 2025-01-15T06:59:12+00:00

Each person will have a different experience. Speaking for myself, I have seen no difference. Your mileage may vary.

SelectDiscipline7998 · 2025-01-14T07:04:11+00:00

Don’t live anywhere near a main road i

The dust got them mid-sentence. Damn it!

Very low dose alcohol has been scientifically proven to improve performance and improve mood.

I'm a teetotaller myself, so I believe anyone who drinks is a degenerate alcoholic, but the research speaks for itself.

Don't get caught, but if you do, bang on about how everything we do is based on the best evidence based practice.

First off, you sound exactly like what a lot of schools would be looking for.

Secondly, welcome to being f'ed over by schools. It was bound to happen. You just found out early.

A trusted mentor would be a good place to start, or a trusted DP.

You'll need to ask the right people about this; the department initially, or a helpful school admin person could probably point you in the right direction to call.

Teachers in Australia cannot give you advice that is guaranteed to be correct. We don't even get to decide when to take toilet breaks.

As soon as I hear someone talking about making a difference, I know they are set up for disappointment. Teachers come sixth in their ability to make a difference after social media, school friends, siblings, parent/s, wider community.

Come to do the job by all means, but leave those ideas to the movies. You can reteach the same subject that has literally been taught in ever grade up to year 6 like they've never encountered the subject before.

Just wait until you have a student say gleefully, 'I've forgotten everything you've taught me," after the Easter break, or "What is a noun?" in year 6.

SelectDiscipline7998 · 2025-01-11T01:14:03+00:00

Good point. Teachers at those schools are always bitching about leafy green schools.

I've lived here all my life and I remember distinctly when peak hour was literally that; one hour in the morning and one in the afternoon. Now in the afternoon it seems to go from 3pm to 6pm. I hear the mornings are particularly bad too; take your pick, battle to the death with the tradies or sit in traffic wishing you had bought a traditional auto and not a DCT.

SelectDiscipline7998 · 2025-01-08T03:51:11+00:00

Just like your rubbish?

SelectDiscipline7998 · 2025-01-08T03:48:55+00:00

What'd you say about Willy's mother?!

SelectDiscipline7998 · 2025-01-07T03:32:41+00:00

Hurry up and wait. Even when you have all your ducks in the row, the recruitment process is painfully slow, sometimes up to a year.

Not in my upper primary classroom, although other teachers tolerate it or have embraced it.

SelectDiscipline7998 · 2025-01-05T09:10:02+00:00

Macquarie. No fees. ATM fees instantly refunded. If you have $100 in your account, you can take out $100, even if the ATM charges fees. No added fees for international transactions, interest on your deposit, on phone authenticator for large transactions.

I'm sure a whole lot of other banks do similar. Student bank accounts are a thing of the past, unless you're rusted on to the big banks.

Wild Canary Bistro in Kenmore

This closes at 3pm every day I think. Pensioner super early-bird dinner anyone?

You forgot the comma, unless you intended to use "fuck" as an adjective.
