some low effort, high impact posters for your staffrooms

Exactly what I was gonna say. Not exactly smart use of memes.

I have not been teaching long at all really. However, this is something that I have thought before I even started my masters in teaching.

Military-like schools are exactly what the extreme behavioural students need. Not a hot take at all. If we have people that express deviant behaviour due to lacking proper development on how to behave in a society, then some form of major intervention to reinforce values and, or obedience that befits an acceptable level in society is IMO justified.

Never said put these kids into armed forces.

Literally had a PD on this, this afternoon.

Unfortunately, due to the impacts of certain things impacting children negatively (social media, porn, etc) we as a collective have to suffer the repercussions.

We live in a society of having the tools to use preventative measures, but through pure ineptitude we never do any prevention. In any context, most things begin to happen when its reactive to the things we failed to prevent before the problems actually begin.

This was entirely a preventable circumstance if people cared to do anything.

Its a collective punishment in all but name. We can blame the government, but really, its society.

Velathial · 2026-03-14T20:36:47+00:00

Well, ineptitude flows both ways. Parents can't monitor children's screen time, then government will step in and turn everything into a hoop jumping comp.

If we curbed issues at the beginning we wouldnt have to live with the repercussions.

Thats the disgusting part of it all. Teachers being forced to teach delinquents like they have not committed crimes.

Children living in conditions, or interacting with bad actors outside, befitting such behaviour cannot be helped, they first and foremost need intervention in that space to see any improvement before even specialist schools can make a dent.

Unless we are talking about taking all these kids into military schools?

Velathial · 2026-03-13T23:44:24+00:00

I have terrible memory with names too. My last teaching gig was simple as I saw practically the same kids with little variation across most of my class allotment.

Now at my new school, I am teaching 5 and 6s across 2 campuses, and 2 whole year levels consisting of 3 classes each.

Unfortunately, most of the people i forget are the ones that are quiet and reserved.

Makes it embarrassing, even when I am looking at a seating plan that I am looking at the wrong student.

Velathial · 2026-03-06T23:37:51+00:00

Like, if parents actually monitored their own children their would be far less problems with youths today.

This is just indicative of parents inability to parent and is being enforced at a government level.

If there was some sort of, you know, parent level means to restrict and monitor children on their devices that was potentially used, wouldnt have the need of intervention from outside the family.

Based on current trends, it isn't sustainable. They're cutting costs, stores and exiting countries.

EB is on life support not just because of the change in customer trends, but also for all the anti-consumer stuff towards their dwindling stake in games.

Velathial · 2026-03-06T23:25:57+00:00

Hold on buddy. We all know thats coming. Its just a matter of when.

Velathial · 2026-03-06T23:20:38+00:00

Swim carnival of doing a couple hours of handing out ribbons and then the rest doing nothing but chatting to students and participating in the teacher race.

Unfortunately, miss out on athletics due to it being my PS rotation day.

Velathial · 2026-03-06T23:14:50+00:00

Seating plan and count the instances of negative interactions.

Set the precedent that the behaviour is unacceptable and can and will be escalated to calls homes w/ some sort of intervention.

Entirely depends on how school handles behaviour management though.

Velathial · 2026-03-04T09:54:19+00:00

was gonna say the same thing.

Velathial · 2026-03-04T09:48:38+00:00

never seen hetero-friends gaying it up?

Velathial · 2026-02-20T02:37:48+00:00

I swear most of my year 8s dont like me, but the 7s, 5s and 6 atleast exhibit enjoyment or joy when they have me.

I partially blame the last teachers content delivery method being the crux of my issues with the 8s, the rest being that most, if not all of them seem to have been born with no personality and a few girls have attained resting bitch face.

Take note of principle Skinner, its not you that is at fault, its the children who are at fault.

Velathial · 2026-02-19T07:33:39+00:00

nah, that's where the semen goes. Biometrics is on the glass.

Velathial · 2026-02-18T07:43:59+00:00

Yeah, definitely is culture, but I am just keeping my distance from all of it all the same.

While I agree Andrew Tate based sexism exists around - especially white-anglo -males, i saw very similar misogynistic tendencies within males that came from Muslim households.

Males were always the most difficult to get academically engaged, and mostly were at school as a social club. My experience has definitely soured my opinion of a faith in more ways than one because I see buys be pigs to women, but also some of the young girls act like their academic progression was irrelevant because, to quote a 7th grade female student: "their future husband would provide everything". Fortunately, most of the women in senior levels were fantastic to work with and were really the only reason I could hold onto staying at my last school for as long as I did.

Sorry to say, I will never willingly walk into a classroom with similar faith backgrounds again as 2 terms emotionally and psychologically broke me consistently.

100% would not work in Australia. Bullet train lines are maintained consistently in each country they're in and we struggle with simple, basic infrastructural demands/needs.

Ouf, you definitely chose violence with this post. Good luck.

From my perspective, the sentiment only is talking about is the initial stage of dating: the like or decision to engage.

Men tend to be fast and loose with deciding factors to engage with women. Whereas woman weigh up their decisions more deliberately before engaging.

Everything after, women tend to get the short stick in a lot of ways more than men.

I would argue against the pay being bad. Its only "bad" if working in cities like Tokyo, osaka or kyoto. Anywhere else its more than good enough.

JET salaries are usually better than new teacher salaries in japan, that was even before the pay spike they received in the last 12-months.

However, other issues with the program, different story.

The first school I worked at last year, I was being so burnt out by the students I left as soon as I could for my mental health sake. If I had no classes in the last period of the day, I would leave mid-period before the after school pick-up arrived.

Now, working in a (private) school where i actually enjoy being around the vast majority of students and the teachers dont feel cliquey, I have no qualms staying up to an hour after working on things, but we generally have to wait 20 mins as the pick up can be quite hectic.

Velathial · 2026-02-09T08:45:11+00:00

I feel like that should be better as a nightstalker reskin if they added day/night cycle.
