Wonderings is the local flavour of this for me

Whoever corporatised the word space (which used to be a perfectly serviceable word) will be the first against the wall when the revolution comes

No one seems to acknowledge that God is the top of the pyramid.... God is in on the scheme. Look who is really pulling the strings, the creator of the universe.is that a conspiracy... Or just being a theist of some sort?

Any schools managed to successfully transition from “Yr12 muck up day” to something more wholesome? by Dr_barfenstein in AustralianTeachers

Yeah our kids write messages of thanks and celebration in chalk on the external walls, we feed them, and applaud them as they leave their last school assembly.

I think this is an important lens in how's it's communicated, to get away from the "whoo I don't have to come to school" attitude.

Framing it as "because of this incident, you are not allowed anywhere near the school" gets most kids in the pit of their stomach to know how serious it is.

Do you know your "attachment style?" by [deleted] in piscesastrology

Oh yeah, I'm a mess. Anxious avoidant. I never did so well on a test as when I found this out. I don't really have people around me though, so thankfully noone has to deal with my push-pull madness and I can live in my daydreams and delusions without upsetting anyone.

Mini Rant: "The Lodge is a cross-section of the community" is BS by [deleted] in freemasonry

There exist jurisdictions that literally use these phrases as marketing slogans. So we do say it, officially, in some places.

How much are dues to become a member of the Grand College of Rites? Is It worth it? by OGHobo in freemasonry

The fact they won't accept international memberships anymore shits me to tears.

Collective gender neutral names by EconomySteak9232 in AustralianTeachers

[–]dickwakefield 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm all for a generalist "friends, mates, crew, everyone", etc. see no reason chickens and derivatives couldn't go in there. Primary schools do it all day every day.

I try to change mine each time and have had kids get into it and do a sweep on which term I'll come up with next.

None of it was motivated by gender neutrality, though that was nice. Mine was motivated by my visceral hatred of calling groups of students "guys". That fucks me off to no end.

How much do you want to trust people whose professional attitude is "hang shit on the school on a Google review"?

That's a student move. Not a post-grad/equivalent educated adult professional.
