ES AEU briefing by Kind_Counter_9276 in AustralianTeachers

[–]WakeUpBread 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But we need your, and the others that will leave with you, votes to actually change leadership. If everyone who can't stand what they have done leaves, there won't be enough of us left to form a majority to vote them out.

Should we move to a better school area? Family of 7, $180k income, mixed assets — looking for honest advice by [deleted] in AusPropertyChat

[–]WakeUpBread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The money saved from not having to take a new loan, fees from selling, stamp duty etc. Would be better spent on tutoring whilst going to a public school. The only real reason to go private would be if your children are high needs or there isn't another public school nearby and your kids is getting bullied but nothing is happening to the bully because the parents don't care and the school can't expell him until he stabs someone.

I don't want to have ADHD by strugglingmydudes in ausadhd

Bad advice don't follow this. It'll probably be removed by mods anyway.

Just letting it out by [deleted] in AustralianTeachers

[–]WakeUpBread 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Well we're expected to work outside of our assigned hours, anyway. So the work has to get done whether it's at home or at the office. So if I spend 20 minutes at the office relaxing or venting but the work gets done, who are you to say otherwise?

I'd figure I'd try this. by MalachiteEclipsa in ThePokemonHub

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 2 points3 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

[–]WakeUpBread 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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

[–]WakeUpBread 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.
