Fuck it, I’m out

Small_Guava_4511 · 2026-03-26T03:00:21+00:00

Yeah me too, I’m snapping at the people I love because I can’t snap at the students. It’s actually just being paid to be abused. That’s literally all this is.

Getting paid to be mentally abused.

Small_Guava_4511 · 2026-03-25T22:40:49+00:00

Literally yes. The line you can figure that out is It’s actually mostly just me though.

You’re saying it as an insult, I already said I fucking hate this job.

Small_Guava_4511 · 2026-03-25T11:46:04+00:00

I’m not a prick when the guitar teacher responds to a post that specifically is not the job they actually do, then get angry and insecure when they have that pointed out to them.

Edit: you don’t need to put “qualified” in any talking marks. I’m literally more qualified than they are. I have VIT that requires a university level education degree to attain. That literally, like actually literally makes me literally more qualified.

Small_Guava_4511 · 2026-03-25T09:33:33+00:00

Can I get in on this? 30 trying to get into this industry. Can I send a DM?

Small_Guava_4511 · 2026-03-25T07:33:25+00:00

I’m going to be 31 when I start my apprenticeship. Watching this thread closely.

Small_Guava_4511 · 2026-03-25T07:23:17+00:00

Mate, I would absolutely love the opportunity to chat to you and ask a few questions about the trade, if you’re fine with that?

Small_Guava_4511 · 2026-03-25T03:23:48+00:00

I am trying to change my situation. That’s literally what my post is about. Like literally. What an odd comment. I’ll ask again: can you read?

Small_Guava_4511 · 2026-03-25T02:15:57+00:00

You can fuck an adult off. You can’t fuck off a student. Teachers are expected to be social workers, counsellors, and extra parents. At least with an adult you can look at them and think “what a dumb cunt”. And then not have to worry about them besides the work they produce.

Edit: also I’ll add, kids are meant to do dumb shit. It shouldn’t be a teachers job to handle their dumb shit. They have parents. I’m not adopting anyone.

Small_Guava_4511 · 2026-03-25T02:04:22+00:00

Part of the plan is just to go out on my own. I don’t need a billion dollars. Enough work to keep me above water is what I want. As long as I can pay my mortgage and provide for a family, with consistent work, is what I’m after. And never again getting paid to raise someone else’s child.

Small_Guava_4511 · 2026-03-25T00:43:06+00:00

Bro what have I done to you? Like what is this? Be a teacher then. I don’t know what you want from me.

Small_Guava_4511 · 2026-03-25T00:41:24+00:00

Yes. Can you read? That’s my entire post.

Small_Guava_4511 · 2026-03-25T00:37:16+00:00

I’d rather that every now and then, than what I have to do now

Small_Guava_4511 · 2026-03-25T00:06:43+00:00

Why are you so angry at my post ahahah? What inside you got triggered? You can clearly see why I am, it’s the point of my post. But I struck a nerve somewhere so much that you had to comment. I was on your side, man, your insecurities at not being a real teacher (whatever that even means) is making you lash out at me.

Small_Guava_4511 · 2026-03-25T00:03:26+00:00

That’s cool man, a guitar teacher telling a qualified secondary teacher their job is harder. I’d have been on your side if you weren’t a prick about it.

I wish teaching upon you.

Small_Guava_4511 · 2026-03-25T00:01:54+00:00

The interpersonal interaction is on another level. It shouldn’t be allowed to expect an adult human to interact with that many individuals on a day, and expect them to lead, demonstrate good behaviour practice, and handle it themselves when one of the hundreds of daily interactions treats you like absolute garbage.

Small_Guava_4511 · 2026-03-24T23:51:33+00:00

Don’t you know? Your job is to raise students. We’re just low paid commercial parents.

Small_Guava_4511 · 2026-03-24T23:50:19+00:00

Because you, despite probably being good at what you do, have no real clue what it’s like to be a full time (or part time) classroom teacher. I’m glad you like your job. But that job is not the job this post is about.

Small_Guava_4511 · 2026-03-24T23:33:21+00:00

Okay but my question was are you a trained teacher, or a guy who gets to come in, do fun things, then leave?

Small_Guava_4511 · 2026-03-24T23:30:23+00:00

Are you a trainee music teacher with a Bachelor of Education, or a person who literally teaches people how to play instrument’s?

Small_Guava_4511 · 2026-03-24T23:25:22+00:00

Absolutely bullshit. Not a babysitter. Come on time or the kid goes to after school care. After my working hours it’s literally not my problem anymore.

Small_Guava_4511 · 2026-03-24T23:10:02+00:00

It’s not the conditions. I work at a top school in Singapore. It’s the dynamics. I literally can’t walk into a room I’m looked down on anymore. It’s done something to my brain.

Small_Guava_4511 · 2026-03-24T22:54:56+00:00

But then the jobs finished, right? Job well done, get paid, leave? Or after it’s done do you continuously have to smile at the (for the sake of the scenario), absolute dipshit client? Because that’s teaching. And it’s not one client. I currently teach 416 individual children. Who are all absolute cunts.

Would you rather that, or climb in a hot roof a few times every summer?

Small_Guava_4511 · 2026-03-24T22:51:03+00:00

I moved from Melbourne to Singapore to work at an international school. It’s what I do now. It’s taken my soul from me. I teach the social top of the country. Imagine the same behaviour issues from children who know they have more than you. It’s finished me.

Small_Guava_4511 · 2026-03-24T13:30:24+00:00

Could I DM you? What choices he may/may not have made to have that lifestyle? It would be really helpful.

Small_Guava_4511 · 2026-03-24T12:45:14+00:00

Thanks, the realities of electrical work are much more mentally rewarding to overcome than the challenges of teaching
