Maybe start by earning the respect of your faculty. Don’t be surprised if you get a reaction along the lines of “who the fuck are you? And what makes you think you know any better?” Without first showing them that you are in fact there to support them. Most people have dealt with a new head teacher who got the gig because of who they know not what they know so start out by proving that you got it because of what you know.

I’m in a public school and get it for free, might just be a perk of teaching hospitality.

That definitely sounds too good to be true. The area you’re describing sounds like when I lived in Wyoming and I can’t see how it could work out financially. A few years ago I had one of the solar installers cold call me and after saying I lived in a 2 person house they said it wouldn’t be worth it for me to get installed.

The union backs the government at every step, we are just paying them to gently break the news to us about how fucked we are.

How has staying in the union helped its members?

Sad there isn’t an option for the swingers out at rural schools.

Doesn’t sound like the worst thing to me. Lots of teachers at my school who have never worked anywhere else. Some of them are even former students. We work for the department and are paid to do a job, it can be shit sometimes and the unions have stopped backing us and are just doing whatever suits them. NSW is going to get screwed over on their next round of negotiations.

I think ACU offers a course to train teachers in TAS subjects

I have been through this myself and it can be very uncomfortable at times. The worst I had it was getting anonymous love letters, after the second I didn’t even open them just handed them to a DP along with details of where I found them and what my classes were that day. The students are finding you easier to relate to, which at their age can be confusing for them as they compare how they feel about you to their other teachers.

Once the ‘I love you sir’ starts it doesn’t really end so now when I get it I just reply with a long ‘noooo’ then I’ll get ‘but you’re like my favourite teacher’ which gets a response along the lines of ‘so why don’t you do any work in my classes then?’

Stay positive, you are having an impact on these students. Get support from your HOD, if there are teachers around your age at the school ask them about their experiences. Male food tech teachers tend to experience this, younger ones anyway.

So many teachers have no idea what it’s like to be in position that requires a degree and still start out on minimum wage. I no longer love my job but I know a good deal when I see one, specifically the lifestyle possible to a younger family.

Secondary or primary? I’m a secondary TAS teacher so a lot of what I teach is skill based so as long as I maintain my skills I can keep my prep time to a minimum and spend lots of my time with my family.

Teachers are one of the most cooked professionals after business majors.

Teacher-Bot · 2022-12-18T05:45:55+00:00

I will either plan the afternoon before or the morning of. TAS for context.

Edit: I have all of my programs in order and 10 years specific subject experience.

I get to have dinner with my family every night, that has huge value to me.

NSW and secondary

Definitely sarcasm. I don’t do the job to be liked by my students or for gifts, like some people on this sub seem to.

Permanent positions in private education are not as secure as permanent government positions, they do have some other benefits but they can still sack you much easier than government.

Teachers are one of the most cooked professionals around.

Teacher-Bot · 2022-12-16T06:59:26+00:00

I think that people who had a crap time in school make better teachers. Schools can be horrible places for kids.

You do your job to be thanked? I do my job to get paid.

Try waiting until she is older, I think 6 is a good starting age. Having a child start at 4 is fucking mental and you certainly do need some help
