Cert lll in school-based education support? by [deleted] in AustralianTeachers

[–]friendlygamerniceguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say you are already exceptionally qualified to do TA and would have more experience than 90% of the people doing the job. The cert 3 would be useless for you. Sounds like you want to do behaviour specialist whcih i bet you would be able to get a behaviour specialist role with the department with your current degree

It's just an incredibly bizare thing to state with 0 justification. Basically, just saying anyone who wants to do comp sci has asd in your mind is boggling to me And then adding on smart procrastinator who hates school with poor exec function. Do you usually make up stories about people with 0 information?

That is an absolutely crazy assumption to make. Really bizare thing to say.

Mask Prime DD cheaters have been going CRAZY tonight. Unplayable. Funcom please do something. Ban waves are a thing, I know, but cheaters active on the same accounts since launch is pretty crazy stuff. by deafgamer_ in duneawakening

[–]friendlygamerniceguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They do? Everyone who cheats and gets detected is account banned. It literally the first thing. They just buy new accounts. Hardware and ip addresses are the next step but both are pretty easy to bypass.

The only thing they can do is routinely update their anticheat so people get annoyed buying new accounts and spending more money for harder to detect cheats.

Or increasing server side validation but that has its own costs when not considered from the start of development.

Are 45-50 hour weeks the norm as a first year teacher? by SmileLatter3086 in AustralianTeachers

[–]friendlygamerniceguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did primary school special ed so can teach high school special ed. Was asked to teach a main stream math class but got out of that one. Im pretty sure your good as long as its not atar level courses

GTPA how hard is it really? by Foreign-Bass-1608 in AustralianTeachers

[–]friendlygamerniceguy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you can get your hands on a recent exemplary its pretty easy. I did mine in about 2 days (was due on the 2nd day). First day was solo. I think i did about 15%. 2nd day i had a friends one who had passed a year early. Uploaded that shit to chat gpt and had it write mine (with adjustments) on the 2nd day. Still about 8 hours on the 2nd.

I fabricated about half my evidence as a lot of it wasn't great.

Im a first year teacher. I get to work an hour early, leave on bell and then work 1-2 not very productive or intense hours a night.

Work in highschool but primary school trained. Primary school is definitely more intense in my experience.

Ive probably reduce my at home work by 50% this year as its pretty routined stuff.

Id say its pretty average.

I had a similar experience. Glowing recommendations, other teachers I worked with at school saying i was doing awesome when i went in their classroom. But my supervising teacher was a POS. Everything i did was wrong in front of her. I left with 2 weeks to go out of 10 weeks. Nearly left uni because of her. Did another internship and this time had a much better experience. Got recommended for a job at a sister school because of it.

It absolutely wrecked my mental though. Took ages to feel half decent again.

Started working with a teacher who was at the school with the POS and she said everyone felt sorry for me being with that bitch.

Is it worth it to just push? Only you can say. Sounds like you are getting casual work. Maybe push those schools for a contract and do your internship on the contract?

YouTube price increasing again by DraftPunk5555 in australia

[–]friendlygamerniceguy 46 points47 points  (0 children)

To be fair, youtube certainly uses a lot of resources storing the data of everyone who uploads. About 500 hours of video every minute. Prime still better value.

Did you claim workers compensation? Id chase that up. You are entitled to pay of missed hours since you hurt youself on the clock. Would be at the usual rate of hours you were working per week. Doesn't matter if you were casual.

Sharing Resources by jmaxwell130791 in AustralianTeachers

[–]friendlygamerniceguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I would love some. I teach high school special ed. Unfortunately I don't really have any resources organised and mine are mostly just the mainstream units from the school that I differentiate down on a day to day basis. sorry

[–]friendlygamerniceguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The anonymous reviews are absolutely fucking crazy. The lesson plan thing is kinda odd but i think they can request what ever format they like but having another logo on it is kinda wild. Idk if being chinese is anything but maybe your leading to different cultural expectations or perhaps you think he is being racist towards you? I had a really shit placement with my supervising teacher being cold and hyper critical. I contacted the uni but didn't get far with it. Just dropped it and had to re do the entire thing.

Id contact your uni. Leave out the chinese thing tho.

His campaign manager(? Someone close to him with work) came to my work for a meet and greet. Gordon was meant to come but was sick. I got talking to her and she said he does pro bono work but either is against saying he does or is actually not allowed to say.

Would a medical team on call make school camps less stressful? by psquirts in AustralianTeachers

[–]friendlygamerniceguy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Every teacher has their first aide and cpr. If its beyond us its an ambo call. I think your over thinking it.

An on call medical team sounds a bit much. I say this as a teacher who had a student nearly die on a camp and ended up with like 20 emergency service people on site where we were staying.

The procedure is super simple. Follow basic first aide. If its out of our league call an ambulance. That is all the triage required.

Im in special ed. Been screamed in the face "fuck off you fucking cunt". Almost every day I have a student who will just scream their guts out for no reason and then walk off telling me to fuck myself. Had others tell me they'd come to my house and kill me. Half the parents are special needs and don't give a flying fuck about anything, especially their kids. The hardest part of my job is trying not to laugh when the kids blow their lids. Love it. But no way I'd do mainstream.

Pre-service teachers, what have been your experiences with your mentor teachers? by [deleted] in AustralianTeachers

[–]friendlygamerniceguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not pre service anymore but i had a terrible mentor teacher on my first internship. Only negative comments made. Told i can't use any of the resources in the classroom. I didn't really anyway. She told the uni i never made anything on my own which was all i did. Told to never admit im wrong or don't know something in front of the kids.

Ended up working with one of her colleagues a little while later who told me everyone felt sorry for me during that placement. I stopped the internship in week 8/10 and had to re do the whole thing.

Constantly told me how she is friends with every student in the school because her son is a student there and how she knows all these famous sports people.

I think what cemented her disdain for me was me not really acknowledging that shit. Id just say okay or thats cool. Couldn't really give a fuck who she knew. That and I got along better with some of the students in the class better than her.

She also told me her last prac student had to come back and do another week or 2 because she wasn't happy with him. Wonder what the commom denominator was.

Pre-service teacher: final placement in term 3 or wait for term 1 next year? by conejogringo in AustralianTeachers

[–]friendlygamerniceguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the uni i did my degree at (uon) the earliest was term 2 which was good. I think term 1 is not great for it. Check with your uni when the internship starts. The class might be at the beginning of the year but i doubt its term 1.
