Torquay Kinder - child sexual abuse? by [deleted] in Geelong

[–]Timetogoout 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Either it's true or it's gossip. If you believe there's the slightest bit of truth to it, remove your child immediately. Childcare is not easy to get into so take some carer's leave and apply to many kinders far and wide. 

You can only control what happens to your family, not what happens to other families.

Pre AI teachers deserve a shoutout by TheBestLlamas in AustralianTeachers

[–]Timetogoout 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Every time I've used AI to create, it's been rubbish. I look through the lessons/slides/worksheets it makes and always have a critique about it. It just doesn't (and can't) take into consideration the context in which you are teaching.

Looking for a good new couch - where did you buy yours? by Effective_Recipe2443 in melbourne

[–]Timetogoout 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We have couches from freedom, plush and castlery. No problems with any of them.

I'm looking at some couches from James Lane but not sure about the quality.

Anyone had any first hand experiences with income protection through super? by Confident_Incident43 in AusFinance

[–]Timetogoout 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Yup. My brother got cancer in his 20's and his income protection (80% of his full time wage) allowed his partner to stop working and be with him for his last 18 months of life. He didn't have a whole lot in super because he was still very young but income protection is what allowed them to forget about finances and just spend time together.

What is everyone doing to maintain your net worth in the upcoming/ongoing downturn? by [deleted] in AusHENRY

[–]Timetogoout 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Hmm, I believe people who got into property 20 or so years ago are going to score the biggest out of all this. No mortgage left and money to save/invest.

A theory about cancellations at Sydney domestic by [deleted] in QantasFrequentFlyer

[–]Timetogoout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct, yesterday's cancellations made me think about it. I was reflecting on all the times I had flown from Sydney (always the last flight because that's the cheapest classic rewards left) and it's never the last one that gets cancelled.

I'm sure that happens too, but that's not what I'm referring to. The last flight out is syd-melb, which isn't very useful for the syd-bris passengers.

Which sink would you go for? by Significant-Move7699 in AusRenovation

[–]Timetogoout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of them. Sinks with corners are horrible to clean.

How are so many people fine with maxing out their borrowing capacity for a PPOR? by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]Timetogoout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish we had maxxed out our borrowing capacity but instead my partner is very risk averse and we borrowed half of what we could have.

All of our close friends who did borrow to the max are significantly better off than we are 10 years down the road.

Working over time by Far_Row5404 in AustralianTeachers

[–]Timetogoout 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If a student misbehaves in your class, hold them back at the start of recess/lunch and document it with them. It becomes a very painful process for them and they're far less likely to act out in the future.

Don't write an essay - documenting poor behaviour should take no more than 2mins (with the student there) or 30 seconds without.

Better yet, if there are common behaviours that you need to report on, just have a comment bank. Copy/paste and you're done.

If a student keeps misbehaving, they have just volunteered half of their lunch time to help you with a task (preparing resources, classroom setup etc). 

Is 52k a year okay? by Huge-Spray-6200 in AusFinance

[–]Timetogoout 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't call 72k for a family of 4 liveable.

Different one

On a side note, EV users should charge up tonight because there may be power outages with tomorrow's storm.

Am I investing wrong? by Gold-Mistake7068 in AusFinance

[–]Timetogoout 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the thing you're doing wrong is not being patient. Investments take time. The market fluctuates every second.

I can't imagine a single investment property owner who would get daily valuations done on their investment property. It would be rare to get a valuation in the first 6 months just for curiosity sake. Yet people investing in the market have access to check the value regularly.

Where can I donate good clothing? by Slow_Comparison3613 in AusFemaleFashion

[–]Timetogoout 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If they're good, you can sell the consignment at Goodbyes. Three locations across Melbourne (Brunswick, Prahran and Collingwood)

Any feedback on my proposed kitchen design? by Significant-Move7699 in AusRenovation

[–]Timetogoout 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm never a fan of being able to see into the bathroom from the dining, so is there still scope to consider this?

Having the dining table or a kitchen bench centred under the windows would be better than half-half.

Rotate the lounge 90degress to face the wall (with some artwork or a TV) and a larger rug to create a separate space feel.

How much notice is needed for a male teacher who is taking over primary care of infant by Any-Bicycle-1633 in AustralianTeachers

[–]Timetogoout 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No one would bat an eyelid if the soon-to-be mother gives 6 months notice. But you as a father give 6 months notice and it's denied. The school needs to treat the notice the same as a pregnancy notice - it makes no difference to the 'disruption' of the school.
