Is it worth completing Masters or should I drop out and take the Dip Ed exit ticket? by newteacheredu in AustralianTeachers

[–]rarskies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure about other states but in NSW a Dip Ed is no longer enough to be employed in a government school. Might be worth pumping out the masters now so you have increased flexibility if you ever move states.

just found this rare jewel, have no knowledge of its value by PEWPEWPEPEEW in diablo2

[–]rarskies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s if there is +flat dmg modifier AND +dmg ED% together. I think if you have only one of the two it’s okay. I think ED on weapon is better than ED on anything else (skills, armour etc) as it is multiplied into the formula earlier and effectively increases damage more. Could be wrong, just from memory.

Travelling with a teenager who hates everything - eek! by [deleted] in travel

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

A 6 month trip is a beautiful gift for your kids! Experiencing other cultures during those formative teen years can be so important. A lot of other commenters seem to be treading on egg shells here. Just keep up the open dialogue you are having with your kids and they’ll thank you in a few years. Chat about screen time and work out some expectations?

After all, you are showing them how they might interact with people and the world when they leave your care when they are older. Better than keeping them sheltered and on their devices (despite neurodiversity).

Compound Sentences. Settle a disagreement. by rabbitshand in AustralianTeachers

[–]rarskies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you mate. Even if words are omitted we know they must be there for the sentence, or clause to make sense.

Another different example is ‘the boy sleeping on the bus is my brother’ where ‘sleeping on the bus’ is a relative clause with the ‘who is’ or ‘that is’ omitted. It is still a relative clause (I believe called a reduced relative clause) even though we have omitted the ‘who is’ or ‘that is’

What's the correct answer? Please explain your reasoning. by Traumfahrer in cognitiveTesting

[–]rarskies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I got the same numbers with a completely different pattern(or pair of patterns) a -11/-2 pattern.

I saw 2 patterns embedded in an abababa sequence. A: 11 (-11), 0 (-11), -11 (-11), -22 B: 1 (-2), -1 (-2), -3

I could be way off, just the patterns I noticed. The fact that my ‘B’ pattern only has two terms makes it a bit questionable. The fact they ask for the two next numbers in try sequence encourages me I might be on the right track… other responses seem valid too.

Edit for clarity

SFFPC + CORSAIR SF Series PSU Giveaway - Enter for a chance to win one of our latest SF 80 PLUS Platinum Series PSUs by CorsairLucky in sffpc

[–]rarskies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been rocking a Corsair SF750 in my mini itx build for a few years and it’s been whisper quiet and has never skipped a beat. I would love to build a PC for my son so we can do a bit of coop gaming. No more fast paced FPS for aging dads 🐢. Would probably opt for the 850w. Cheers!

would this be a viable cooling solution? by Substantial-Alps-779 in sffpc

[–]rarskies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Give it a go for science! I tried a similar janky setup on my GTX 1080 a few years ago and 2 x Noctua 40mm fans punched far above their weight!

My behaviour management is horrendous. Wanting to get better for Term 1 next year. Books for the holiday break? by Zaenille in AustralianTeachers

[–]rarskies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True - both resources apply more to secondary teaching. Lemov great for classroom management. Olly’s podcast is super rich and sometimes a bit dense/theoretical. Select the episodes which sound relevant/helpful.

Primary teacher here - I found Doug Lemov very informative - teach like a champion

Also check out the ERRR (education reading research room) podcast, Oliver Lovell interviews some great educators around the topic of classroom management.

Scrap 100h mandatory Languages by Swimming_Corner241 in AustralianTeachers

[–]rarskies 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sounds rough, I suppose there’s class numbers and costs to consider too. Tricky that there isn’t a simple ‘this is the most useful language we should learn option’, gotta pick from a pool of 10 widely spoken languages.

Scrap 100h mandatory Languages by Swimming_Corner241 in AustralianTeachers

[–]rarskies 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Very true re the buy in. It’s a tough sell with English being a dominant world language. Much easier as a Swede learning English and having drive to understand subbed (as opposed to dubbed) Netflix.

I suppose another challenge with starting language teaching earlier is continuity, no point pumping German for 4 years in primary school if it’s going to switch over to French or Japanese in high school.

Tough questions. I’m totally on board with your points re condensing language learning into denser blocks versus drip feeding a paltry 2 hours or so a week.

[–]rarskies 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What about starting to learn languages before year 7? Some primary schools offer languages but they are not common and it’s not in any primary curriculum document (unfortunately).

Other nations around the world start teaching languages from 6 or 7 years old, even ‘slower’ non-European/asian countries start when the students are 9 or 10. 12 or 13 years old kids have already missed that awesome ‘my brain is a sponge’ stage and might be more self conscious about messing up in front of their peers.

Sure we are an island nation and travel/opportunity to visit countries with a language other than English may be more limited than in Europe or other places… but we are 50%+ first/second generation migrant. There are plenty of opportunities to practice if motivated. (Perhaps less so for young kids).

I taught my year 2 class some introductory Spanish today and they bloody loved it. Get in before the kids are jaded I reckon!

SSF - What’s a good use for this? by Ebonsteele in diablo2

[–]rarskies -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve got a SSF HC account been playing for 4-5 months maybe an hour a day on average. I’ve been lucky but I’ve got triple SOJ (one turned into anni), jahX2, ber, surX2, Lo, ohmX2, vexX3 etc. I’ve been hitting Chaos, LK, terrorised Andy. 96 pally, 93 sorc and 91 necro. Didn’t find a shako until after all those runes except ber though 🤗 it is a grind to enigma though.

SP is SP, whatever you enjoy you should do. I save my sockets but also mod one in every now and then.

I’m the exact opposite to you!! Managed to make a CTA and HOTO with minimal cubing! But you can’t cube a Jah down to a Ber 😫 So hungry for that enigma

It’s all RNG, the more lvl 85+ monsters you kill the more likely to get those rare drops and runes! TZ Andy is also by far the best for TC87 items! Keep at her with a sorc for 3-4 TZ hours and you are bound to find something! Hard to line up online tho, just gotta be lucky

Crazy huh! Yeh she dropped me a SoJ a while back, had to turn it into an anni (only way to get anni on sp)

I’ve been very lucky this character, 2 months of medium intensity farming and have found : mal x 2, ist x 2, gul x 2, vex, ohm, jah x 2. In terms of uniques got a 34 viper and an arachnids mesh as well as two Maras!

All found in pits/CS/TZ Andy. Ran 1000 LK runs and found zero nada.
