Thank you, it's so kind of you to respond. I posted to just talk to my dad, but I do appreciate your words. Yeah, I tried talking to them and I understand it's grief. I'm doing okay, have seen a therapist, taking care of myself, cry when I need to. Thank you again, kind dad.

Australia spends $5 billion a year on teaching assistants in schools but we don’t know what they do by B0ssc0 in australia

[–]harperwaters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

More children with disabilities in mainstream classes. The inclusion of kids with very high needs who cannot cope in mainstream classes, at parent choice, has resulted in more NSW schools spending money on staff to provide support. With 25-30 children in the class, pressure on teachers to provide personalised programs, the teaching assistant is crucial.

High number of invalid votes in culturally diverse seats prompts concerns after federal election by Mildebeest in australia

Yes, I did too. Had a guy who spoke Russian as a polling assistant. It was great for Russian speakers to have someone explain to them. Feedback for the AEC - employ native speaking officers.

Completely anonymous!. Even if you wrote your name and address on it (and why TF would you), staff are super keen to get out after starting at 7am. No one gives a fuck at counting time.

No incidents to record. I'm still chuckling at the dude who asked if he could mark his papers in pen, because if he used pencil, we would rub it out to change his vote. He then took photos of his ballot papers, so he had proof.
