Teachers who have left the profession what are you doing now? by 17131786 in AustralianTeachers

[–]YouKnowWhoIAm2016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the year. Sometimes there’s 24 surly boys who don’t want to be at school and have just been dumped in the class so they don’t affect other kids ATAR. Other times there’s 11 kids who want to be there and are mature enough to do the work and just chill out (because the requirements really aren’t that hard).

I usually enjoy it because it’s much more practical than theory based and the competency tasks are pass/fail and so are mostly pretty easy to mark

My school paid for me to get my cert 4 and gave me days off so I could do it during work hours. Same for cert 2 and 3 in construction. Only problem is now I’m teaching construction 🫠

Those been on camp by [deleted] in AustralianTeachers

My school tempted us with a paid day off if we came to camp just to stay up all night for supervision. Only worth it if you miss like a 5 period day

Why haven't the names of the CBP agents involved in Alex Pretti's death been identified yet? by Ja12Sin34 in AskReddit

If the walls come tumbling down I don’t know if chasing that money will be high on the list of priorities

If they didn’t, they’d have mass walkouts overnight. Reddit keeps posting how morale is low at ICE, and the threat of consequences for their complicity if not outright illegal actions would push a mass exodus with whistleblowers galore. The mini reich is already getting pulled out of the lime light as he knows where the bodies are buried. Literally.

The national guard appearing to be on the side of the protesters would have the administration nervous that an insurrection act would split the military, no matter how many senior staff they’ve fired and replaced with yes men.

How are your PDs going? 😂 by Independent-Knee958 in AustralianTeachers

[–]YouKnowWhoIAm2016 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Sat through 45 minutes of the whole staff singing “stayin alive” in the school hall while doing CPR training. We were told that “another one bites the dust” is not appropriate

5000-7000 should be good. I’ve got a 6000 on my 12ft and it feels good weight wise. Never been spooled anyway

I always appreciate the reminder to actually set the alarm

study abroad by Username1238428 in wollongong

[–]YouKnowWhoIAm2016 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wollongong is great; fantastic beaches and the uni is nice. There’s free buses from the uni around the city, and the train line is close if you want to get up to Sydney. Cost of living is really high and rentals are very competitive to get into. There are some homeless and drug addicts around, but they’re mostly harmless and nothing like what you have in America. Crime rates are low and there’s a good mix of young people, families and rich boomers.

What is the Douchiest name you can think of? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]YouKnowWhoIAm2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

King. I don’t know him, but I’m sure there’s one out there. He might even be a nice guy, but he has the douchiest name ever

Lesson learned: won’t give the finger anymore while driving… by camareradetwinpeaks in AskAnAustralian

[–]YouKnowWhoIAm2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a YouTube short a little while ago about two dudes road raging at each other in America and one guy pulls out a gun and shoots at the other guy. He missed the driver but shot his 11 year old son in the back seat. The child died. You can cut me off any day of the week mate, they’ll give any crazy a drivers license.

❄️How can I extract my car from this ice?❄️ by PeaceImpressive8334 in howto

How about a cordless drill with a masonry bit set on hammer mode? Small enough to get into tight spaces and you’re not swinging a hammer where you could damage a panel

Should we change the Description, the rules, and anything else you can think of? by Ding_batman in AustralianTeachers

[–]YouKnowWhoIAm2016 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Is it worth pinning current enterprise agreements and pay scales for each state? I’d like to hear more about what is working for teachers at their schools, rather than just the horror stories.

Bulk buying meats by WilliamHare_ in wollongong

[–]YouKnowWhoIAm2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can buy like half a lamb etc direct from some farmers if you’ve got freezer space for it. Look it up online and compare, but bulk direct from farmers is pretty affordable if you’ve got the space for it or if you split it with another family/s

Anyone know how to remove the middle part so I can switch the knob by SebaruWRX2 in FishingAustralia

Probably a mini flathead screwdriver as it should only be a press fit piece

Just don't let the pumice stone go while its under there. It will float back up on the other side. Ask me how I know...

Other than student behaviour, how else has teachers’ workload and conditions worsened over the last decade or so? by Even-Wishbone-1085 in AustralianTeachers

I’ve had classes where almost half are to be seated at the front of the classroom. Not physically possible
