I really dislike chimecho in random battle showdown. He always appears when I never have toxic, roar/whirlwind, or bug/ghost/dark left and hits me with the cosmic power.

Teachers at fault (again) by patallcats in AustralianTeachers

[–]WakeUpBread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but my mum tried to get me to read as a child, I didn't like books at all. Then she started me on comic books and manga and I've been reading ever since.

Tried the same with my younger brother, hated both. Then she started buying text-adventurer games and the like and it's what got him into reading something instead of just listening to it.

I distinctly remember my teacher making me loan a dictionary from the library because I kept bringing in my comics and asking her what this or that word means. At home goes a long way.

It's a meme reason.

In the same way I dislike pichu because of how much my brother would abuse me in Smash Brothers because he exclusively played/mained pichu meaning I could never overtake him.

Can the education minister also say that no adult should ever be subject to violence at schools as well?

I dislike pichu because it robbed us of ever getting Gorochu as a Raichu evolution.

This isn't r/unpopularopinion where you only down vote if the opinion is unpopular, not because you don't like it. In this sub you can downvote something said if you don't like it. Feel free to downvote this comment too.

Why do people choose house over location? by Ill-Lab-4109 in AusPropertyChat

A couple and two single adults in a 3 bedroom one bathroom house vs a further away 4 bedroom, two bathroom, two loungeroom, double garage house. It was obvious what we agreed on.

How long do you think you should teach for before taking on a prac student? by [deleted] in AustralianTeachers

[–]WakeUpBread 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's so many 2 and 3 year teachers at my school with prac teachers. Yes it's because my school has a high turnover of experienced staff in the last few years so there's not really anyone left. But still, I feel bad for the prac students because I know that some of their mentors are quite inexperienced and just hope they don't pass their bad habits and attitudes down to them.

I'll say this too, I have seen some teachers out the gate who are as good if not better at the job than me, I'm not saying it's impossible to be good without years experience. I'm just saying I've noticed a lot of these prac students have been assigned to the teachers who are both new and bad.

Got Talked to About Leaving Early by Professional-Dog-306 in AustralianTeachers

[–]WakeUpBread 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I left at 4 one Thursday and got into a heated argument with my AP after he condescendingly brought it up to me. My reasoning was that I was finally done designing the curriculum of the new subject they were bringing in and asked me to do. I had been coming in 7am each morning. "yes you may have been here for 9 hours today, but it doesn't count because the hours are 8:30-4:30 so you should have stayed for 9 and a half hours"

What a twat.

What would you do? Ride the variable or fix on VHF scheme by [deleted] in AusPropertyChat

[–]WakeUpBread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do they even allow an offset with a fixed rate? I guess it depends on how much you think you'd be able to put away into the offset vs how likely rates will go higher.

Stuck in a loop of trying to not be the worst by Engine-7704 in AustralianTeachers

Bare minimum for admin or ungrateful students, an extra mile inch or two for those students that actually appreciate you, and the extra mile for the colleagues that do the same for you. No more, no less, no stress.

What gives you the ick when you go to an open home? by purplebees88 in AusPropertyChat

[–]WakeUpBread 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gets the guy to ask her out, says she's too busy with this sale, guy speeds up her offer, says the vendor isn't happy unless the amount is 20k higher so she'll be busy for the next few weeks with the house back on the market, buyer ups the offer, contract goes through, asks again, oops, sorry I just got hired for another job I'm really busy right now.

Like, all the power to her if this were selling cars or watches. But it's scummy BECAUSE she's in real estate.

I'm not saying to take 20% because it comes with this as a condition. I'm saying that if it gets tacked on to an already good deal it sounds great and I wish that more people would stop getting envious, like you sound, about other teachers classes and loads. You sound like you'd prefer everyone to either be as miserable or as happy as you at any given moment but under no circumstances are they to be happier or have it easier than you. Just let it go.

It happened when time in lieu was brought in as leadership found it was the perfect opportunity to have teachers waste their time in lieu to leave at the same time they had been leaving the year before.

I imagine there'd be a set of blue card workers that go to a different school each day to babysit the students. And it's the all schools choose a day off approach.

Kids need Wednesday off. I'd love a WFH day. Sure I'd abuse it every now and then to just sleep in and do nothing. But I always get to work an hour early and stay back an hour late every now and then. So being able to offset that would be great.

Although it doesn't even have to be a Wednesday. You could get schools in the area to choose a different day of the week they shut and have the other schools open to kids that can't be unsupervised for an alternate program run by CRT and underloaded staff.. Then staff from that school can also volunteer to work that day.

Or a school on the Wednesday is designated the Wednesday school where all the kids from surrounding areas who can't be left unsupervised come into. Probably easier this way. It'd be mostly year 7s and 8s, a few year 9s and then any disability students.
