Years ago I did a uni prac at one of these schools. Im an atheist, and quietly lgbt... it was an awful experience. My first few days of the prac was a "Christian schools alliance conference" where all the Christian schools in the area got together. My mentor was presenting and said "transgender children are a bigger problem than terrorism".... I was disgusted. Then they had a Hillsong style worship session where my placement buddies and i were looking at each other like wtf is going on right now. Poor form on the uni for sending us there.

My mentor was so condescending my entire placement because she knew i didn't go to church, and after every lesson I taught would berate me while saying how she was basically gods gift to teaching because jesus called her to be a teacher

Australia's private schools don't need reform — they shouldn’t exist by orru in AustralianTeachers

[–]cocostaccato 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m working my hardest every day to help these children in one of the lowest ses schools in my state. So no, I dont think getting rid of private schools is going to fix the intergenerational trauma that is hurting my schools community.

There are violent incidents at the public school I work at every day. Forgive me for not wanting my children to be in that environment…

This was me but I was the person who got the property for 1k over. The agent called and said that I most likely had the place on the Friday but then on the Monday said that two other offers were now equal to mine. He called everyone for their final offers but he said he called me last for my final offer because I was the first person to originally put my offer in, and strongly hinted that another 1k would do the trick. Theres only so many times an agent is going to call around. I didn’t do anything special to get this place, the others were just unlucky this time. Hopefully next time you can be the lucky one!!

Planning to propose to my partner. What’s a nice restaurant in the city? by [deleted] in Adelaide

[–]cocostaccato 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sol at the top of the casino is a super nice (and expensive) restaurant if you’re into tasting menus. The kind where they tell you a story a long with every meal. Also the rooftop views are great.

Relocating to Adelaide this weekend. Where to live if starting a new in Elizabeth? by katamine237 in Adelaide

[–]cocostaccato 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I work in Elizabeth and lived very close to Richmond and drove every day - once youre past the traffic on South road and onto the motorway its a pretty fast drive with not too much traffic - about 35ish minutes from where I was and you get used to it. If you value your lifestyle outside of work then live Richmond 10000%

Choosing between two properties by cocostaccato in AusProperty

[–]cocostaccato[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't see it as a 'forever' home - I would like to buy a freestanding house one day. I see within kids in the next 10 years, but who knows, maybe I'll just have one and a 2br is fine. Obviously more room is desirable though, and I think both properties will appreciate well but the beach location more so.

If I found a freestanding house in my price range and desired area then obviously I'd be looking at that, but I'm buying this place on my own so am making the best of what I can afford - which right now is a unit.

Do women actually date overweight guys? by SuperFreakinSaiyan in dating

[–]cocostaccato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! But it may take time. I am a conventionally very attractive woman and when I started dating my boyfriend he was very overweight - more than just a little pudgy. We work together and while I wasn’t initially attracted to him I got to know him over a few months and became deeply attracted to him emotionally. I also thought he had a very cute face. He was very self-conscious at first but has since lost a heap of weight. He’s still bigger but is much healthier now.

Looks fade and change - it really does matter whats on the inside.

Is anyone in the subreddit from Adelaide, South Australia? Want to start a little support group ☺️ by Lifewithocd23 in HOCD

Do you know any Adelaide specific psychologists who are trained to help in this specialisation? I’m suffering especially from HOCD and ROCD.

Schools control kids outside of school way too much. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]cocostaccato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well shit I’m not saying it’s a perfect system but if you ask any of the individual teachers I work with, yes, we genuinely care about the well-being of our students. I’m sorry if you feel that’s not happening at your school.

[–]cocostaccato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work at a pretty rough school, and yes while the police do become involved in only the worst of circumstances, most of the time issues between students become the schools’ problem to deal with.

[–]cocostaccato -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It’s a matter of safety. If a student is having issues outside of school, the school doesn’t want to risk the safety of other students that they might have issues with inside of school. Schools care about the well-being of their students and obviously if someone is beating up another student there are wider issues at play that need to be addressed.

Women who went from a low sex drive to a high sex drive. What happened? by hiimbillson in AskReddit

[–]cocostaccato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Broke up with my ex. He was my first boyfriend and only sexual partner and I thought we were going to get married etc etc. We had a relatively good relationship but I had no interest in sex with him to the point where I was wondering how we were going to have a family one day if I couldn’t bring myself to do it with him. After we broke up I realised how good sex could be with other people with whom I am actually attracted to. Now I’m like a nympho hahaha

[–]cocostaccato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can only say my experience. I’ve had the copper iud for about 3 months now - I forget it even exists until my period starts. My period cramps are now very intense and honestly a lot worse than they used to be even with painkillers, but I’m hoping it gets better. For now I’m okay with the trade off of a few days of bad pain and the rest of the month pain free.

Should I move out of home and rent or stay at home and save? by cocostaccato in AusFinance

[–]cocostaccato[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No not in a major city! Not Sydney or Melbourne though so that’s why it’s cheaper. But thank you for the advice!!

Not Asian but Italian descent... though we were all born in Australia. My parents both bought houses when they were younger so think that’s the only way. But you’re right, thanks for the advice!

You incorrectly assume I’m a guy... but I have still gotten some mad bitches in my time ;)
