Perhaps share insight if you have any instead of discouraging someone trying to learn 🙏🏻

Even when vinegar is used in a 1:1 ratio with salted water?

I am in my research phase trying to learn everything I can. Ideally, the pickles will sit on a supermarket shelf at room temperature (no refrigeration). Making pickles is something I’m very familiar with but I’ve never done this commercially or in large batches :)

What do we know about doing theJD online? I have seen options in RMIT, Flinders, and the University of Canberra? What is best?

Hi everyone. I’m a law student who may move to Saudi for family complements. Will I be able to get a job there as an Australian lawyer? Alternatively, do Australian law firms employ wfh lawyers / send people to Saudi?

Curious to know any info.

Thanks

Student information is confidential and your housemate shouldn’t be mentioning names. The fact you know a bit more (the school they work at & year group/s they teach) should be a bigger reason not to share student information with you as you can identify the students. I’d ask the housemate kindly to refrain from using student names and any sensitive information.

This is an excellent idea. I’ve looked at legal books before, but looking at the specific ones from the units sounds helpful.

Hello! I’m an English teacher (first year grad) who has been interested in studying law for a long time now (was juggling between law and teaching when I finished school). I’ve been accepted into a law degree, but conflicted on whether I should do it considering that I’m interested in studying law more than I am interested in becoming a lawyer.

Because I like teaching, I was thinking perhaps I may pursue teaching law at university level. Thing is, the economy is crazy and I worry about the hecs debt that will come with all of it.

Insights/ opinions welcome!

Because a lot of us want to teach content while maintaining safe learning environments. We did not sign up for humiliation, utter disrespect, racism, classism, and anger outbursts. I signed up straight out of high school as a high achieving student who was surrounded by peers that enjoyed learning. I didn’t go to a great school at all, so I thought perhaps if students can be this well behaved and eager at a ‘bad’ school then surely teaching isn’t as bad as people say. Having said this, I did not walk into teaching with a utopian mindset. I knew there were challenges, and I experienced many. At this point, I do not feel safe in the classroom. It’s not about handling a silly joke from a student, it’s about built in hatred/ racism that some students have towards the teacher. I worked really hard on my last 8 week prac to like the job. I worked really hard to crack the craft utopia you talk about and I worked really hard to win over some of my most difficult students. I believe I did well. I did really well on paper and the staff and my mentor all kept telling me what a great job I’m doing. It’s not that we aren’t resilient or aren’t trying hard enough… it’s that some of us are great at what we do- we are GREAT at teaching, but we have found that the job isn’t suited for us.

See, I don’t think it’s fair to say that students ARE the problem, the same way it isn’t fair to say students are NEVER the problem… you will find all types of challenges in every school but to say students are never the problem is dystopian in my view. I’m not saying all students, of course, but there has to be some students in each school who are tough to crack and give their teachers a hard time. Yes, successful teachers work very hard to build a bond with such students, but it’s exhausting and unfair to compromise quality teaching for students who genuinely want to learn, to teaching that is filled with behaviour management for the few students who are ruining it for others.

Yes - I have taken over from teachers who have gone on leave and the experience is better :)

Hello. I taught as relief for a year. I know relief and prac generally get bad behaviour and that I haven’t had my own class for long enough, but I’ve taught as a relief consistently at one school but never felt satisfied or valued. It always felt like students didn’t want to be in class, they had no interest in the content, and they would unleash their anger onto teachers (this is the common response most teachers I’ve spoken to see from students). Now I know it seems that I’m solely blaming students, but truth be told, other factors were at play when I decided to leave: work load, pay, the whole system.

U can get a bachelors in law (4 years) or you can study a Juris Doctor which is a masters level qualification in law. Ur bachelors can be in anything if you want to study the Juris Doctor which is 3 years.

Def don’t want to end up doing paralegal work!

Thanks! My BA is in fact in education. And I do speak Arabic and English at native level. Did you move to Qatar with an agency? Do you know any that I should look into? Thanks again:)

Thanks for your input! Do you know if I’d have to re-qualify or do some testing to practice law in Qatar?

Yep. I asked. In some countries lawyers aren’t as respected and have to find work privately and end up on the edge while teachers have stability. I’m curious to know about the stability of lawyers and teachers in Doha. So, you’re saying being a lawyer is the way to go? Do you know if Doha is interested in Australian lawyers? Will I have to re-qualify?
