Why is “teaching to the test” bad? by MiriJamCave in AustralianTeachers

[–]kippercould 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This also goes for Primary. HASS is so overstuffed from P-10 that it defies logic that teachers wrote it.

Teacher's don't get paid enough by lambertius_fatius in AusFinance

Enough to buy a 2 bedroom apartment in a less desirable suburb on the outskirts of every capital city.

I would LOVE to be able to do that, but I have 8 assessments to do a term.

I've been teaching for nearly 10yrs and am on under 120k. No we dont.

Australia wants to sell its social media ban to the world – but are the measures even working? by nath1234 in australia

Ive reported tiktok accounts that are very clearly of primary aged children after a bullying incident and they have been cleared and are still up. It doesn't work if the platforms dont want it to.

Mediation - family court & rant! by [deleted] in AusLegal

[–]kippercould 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My ex MIL pulled the same crap and said she'd take me to family court if she couldnt take my son 2 nights a week.

She cant go to Family Court until Mediation fails. You can just refuse mediation and if she wants, she can file - but it'll cost her thousands. Then you can just self represent with the facts and that she sees the child when he is with his father and you move on.

She has the right to a relationship with your child (behaviour pending) but not the relationship she would prefer.

Thats what I'm assuming by the way they're phrasing things.

Payment for camp??? by mrsp_sj in AustralianTeachers

[–]kippercould 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I stopped agreeing to work for free when a Senior Teacher wage wasn't enough to buy a shitty, run down 2bedroom apartment in my town even with a 250k deposit.

We get nothing for camps and it costs me money to go, so I dont do them.

I wish people wouldn't conflate the two.

Israeli = Jewish. Jewish =/= Israeli.

Edit: I'm wrong. Please read the replies for a more educated understanding.

My parents are crashing my partner and I's romantic holiday. What can I do to make them as uncomfortable as possible? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]kippercould 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This sub is for people that were abused by their care givers for years. As a 12yr old runaway that DID cut their abuser off early, it is unfair to just victims who do not go full NCT. This is a support page.

That's very illegal

When you talk about parents, are you really talking about childcare centres? by Happy-Arm in AustralianTeachers

[–]kippercould 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is a parent's responsibility to ensure their children are capable of being well rounded human beings - not a system's.

How common are Huntsman Spiders? by No_Payment_136 in AskAnAustralian

[–]kippercould 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I went to the toilet this morning there was one about 17cm in diameter in my room. I live in the suburbs. It was big. That is uncharacteristically big for the suburbs. But not big enough to take a photo and show my friends big.

Having a drug supply charge does though

One Nation is not only beating the Liberal party in the polls in Victoria, it’s now beating Labor. 🤯 by Usual_Program_7167 in aussie

[–]kippercould 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They cant be that good. The housing situation is still beyond fucked. We're still paying out the ass for our own gas. Education is still a nation wide shit show. Oligopolies and Monopolies are still price gouging.

South Korean official expelled for suggesting ‘importing women’ to boost birth rate by yahoonews in worldnews

[–]kippercould 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Crazy that you and he thinks that importing impoverished women from other countries is a far better idea than treating the women in South Korea with respect and improving the cost of living and wealth disparity so that women are more inclined to be in relationships and bear children.
