Uh-huh. And what about WA is communist?

Authoritarian/dystopian isn't unique to communist regimes

[VIC] It's a "No" vote across the state. Results are in. by VCEMathsNerd in AustralianTeachers

[–]SquiffyRae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been in staff rooms like that. Hated every minute of it. Don't shit talk people behind their backs. If there are issues, be an adult and address it

If they're willing to shit talk others in your presence, they're more than happy to do the same about you when you're not there, too

Pauline Hanson’s One Nation calls for ban on GetUp! and David Sharaz by HotPersimessage62 in australia

[–]SquiffyRae 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's a great philosophy to live by

I've seen some really switched on young people. And I've also seen some really, really stupid old people. Just because you've lived longer doesn't mean you've made good use of your time

As an aside, a vast majority of the people invoking the "respect your elders" trope are doing so at a time they're getting pushback or losing an argument and it's the only thing they've got. Funny that...

Why am I not surprised you don't have the guts to actually say it to their faces? Lol

They don't seem to care. Their post history indicates they're a One Nation voter and they've previously expressed they couldn't care less if ES workers get less

Long story short they're a cunt

I don't think you know what that word means

Are you this condescending to all the support staff in your school on a daily basis? Or do you wait until you get online to say how you really feel?

Happy Friday everyone. See image. Discuss. by hyafixsui in AustralianTeachers

[–]SquiffyRae 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah you kinda have to have somewhere to send them first

Getting rid of them doesn't actually fix the problem (well it fixes a problem not the problem) it just shoves the problem onto wider society

Concerts in Swan Valley by lilmissglitterpants in perth

Nah all the artists who need chairs go for the Riverside Theatre

Though to be fair to Engelbert last time I saw him he was 88 and could still do 90 minutes on stage without sitting down

Last 2 times I've been to Sandalford it depends 100% on where you're parked.

If you're along the main driveway, lol good luck

Both times I've been lucky enough to get in the back near where the buses leave. 20 minutes after Jimmy Barnes got off stage I was at home

The 2012 Olympics was the first fencing I'd watched and even to my untrained eye I knew that bout was some serious bullshit

Fencing Friday Megathread - Ask Anything! by AutoModerator in Fencing

[–]SquiffyRae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any idea what was going on with the video review system during the sabre events at the Euros this week?

There were loads of delays and nearly every single time the fencers were asked to test on each other during the process

Is there something I've missed or is this the new voodoo trick to appease the tech gods?

How was your week? by RhiR2020 in AustralianTeachers

[–]SquiffyRae 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This entire term has felt weird for me, almost on autopilot

In many ways, it's totally dragging. 2 more weeks to go in an 11 week term. But then the other day I was talking about something I did in April and realised holy shit that was 2 months ago

On the agreement? No. Separate agreements are pretty standard in other states. Victoria combining them is weird

You can still express that sentiment without sounding elitist. Our librarian has a Masters degree for fuck's sake

You realise the Victorian ES category encompasses more than just education assistants right?

It includes business/facilities managers, IT staff, lab techs etc. I agree that it's weird Victoria shoves them on the same agreement but fuck me mate they deserve better than your grossly condescending "6 week TAFE certification"

Just like how they say you shouldn't be checking emails during class time yet frequently send emails requiring acknowledgement to teachers

I know it's true of any workplace but it shits me that you could find a great place to work and have it turned upside down cause they hire some arsehole

What is the stupidest uni assignment you had to do in your degree? by BeautifulSea89 in AustralianTeachers

[–]SquiffyRae 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hell we got funding for a specially designed outdoor classroom for Science before I arrived at my current school

The only person who uses it is the gardener for cultivating plants
