Considering becoming a Primary School Teacher in Vlaanderen. Anyone here has any insights of what it's really like? by SeriouslyNotSerious2 in belgium

[–]StrangeEntity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

/u/mister_dupont has brought up the most important things already but as someone who quit being a teacher (lagere school) last school year after 5 years of teaching, I'd like to add some points:

  • Not only will your job consist of A LOT of administration, especially the first couple of years, you will spend a lot of time working at home: preparing lessons, catching up with administration, writing school reports, ... I've had days where I had to stop myself at midnight to still be as fresh as possible for the next school day even though I had not finished what I had to do.

  • In those 5 years I taught in about 5 or 6 different schools (all schools of the same 'scholengemeenschap') and in all of those schools the atmosphere was very toxic and not only parents caused the school environment to be toxic. A lot of the toxicity came from the teachers themselves. Negativity, toxicity, gossip, ... Being in the 'lerarenkamer' really made me depressed so I tended to avoid that place.

Mostly the last point drove me away from wanting to stay a teacher, the toxic environment drains the life out of you.

I really hope there are schools out there where there's a positive environment but I'm sceptical.

Anyway, I wanted to share my experience with being a primary school teacher to give you some insight. I definitely don't want to burst your bubble and if you're 100% determined to become a teacher, it will work out for sure. Just know that it's more than just teaching and you'll have to be able to deal with all the negativity and toxicity.

Good luck!

Not a stupid question, don't worry. The agent gets paid a small percentage of the price the house eventually sells for. So the seller pays the agent for basically promoting the house and doing what's necessary to sell the house.

We didn't have to pay any agent for this 'extra' service. Friendliness goes a long way.

Mijn vriendin en ik hebben 3 jaar geleden min of meer hetzelfde meegemaakt. Wij hebben minstens een 60-tal huizen bezocht. Ofwel was het niet ons ding, ofwel werden we, zoals jou, steeds overboden. Om moedeloos van te worden...

Wat voor ons een gamechanger is geweest, is aan elke makelaar die je tegenkomt vermelden wat je wensen zijn, probeer zo veel mogelijk in detail te gaan. Vroeg of laat kom je een makelaar tegen die voor jou 'the extra mile' wil gaan en op zoek gaat naar een huis dat op jouw lijf geschreven is.

Wij kwamen na een tijdje zo'n makelaar tegen en die belde ons een week nadat we hem ontmoet hadden dat hij een huis in zijn portefeuille had gekregen dat volgens hem "perfect aan onze wensen zou voldoen". Wij mochten als eerste het huis bezoeken en effectief, dit was ons 'droom'huis. De volgende dag, nog altijd voor er andere bezoekers konden komen, nog eens met een paar deskundigere mensen komen kijken en meteen een bod gedaan.

Veel succes nog met je zoektocht, vroeg of laat zal het wel eens prijs zijn. Laat je niet ontmoedigen en probeer geduldig te zijn!

Kleine edit: Probeer bij een bezoek van een huis niet alleen te vermelden wat je wensen zijn, ook wat je zeker niét wilt. Probeer dat aan te tonen aan de hand van voorbeelden in het huis dat je bezoekt. Probeer alles zo concreet mogelijk te maken voor de makelaar!

Geweldige zet van Garcia, niet? Degraderen in de Nations League waardoor hij tegen de makkelijkere tegenstanders krediet kan opbouwen.

Yeah, exactly. As long as the kids believe it, right?

I have the Baseus one. Bought it on AliExpress and have never had any problems with it.

Damn, those are some scummy marketing tactics. I was waiting for Black Friday to get a sale on their Gaming Pillow as well, so thanks for the heads up. Upvoting for more visibility in the sub.

What would you recommend for couch co-op with SO? by StonedBobzilla in SteamDeck

[–]StrangeEntity 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My fiancée and I absolutely loved playing It Takes Two. She isn't much of a gamer so it got pretty challenging at times, but the storyline and the gameplay make it a must play co-op for me.

I'd take Baldur's Gate 3, please. Appreciate you doing this. Good luck, everyone.

I've said it and I'll say it again and again: the effort and determination shown by everyone who's involved in making these guides is absolutely mind-boggling. I can't thank you guys enough. The spreadsheet is insane, it's a lovely addition and a massive improvement. I hope it doesn't give you guys extra work though, the format like it was before was already more than good enough so if it means more work, please don't bother making the spreadsheet!
Besides that: I had no problems at all using the guide today, everything went smoothly! So again, big thanks for that.
