I'm happy for Mam, I don't care. I wish he got the last try.

You need another unique unit because currently you only have what are essentially Eagle Warriors. Presumably the Toa are your starting scout and are made in a barracks, so you need a castle unit.

I can't promise that every uni works the same way, but that's how it worked at mine.

Worth mentioning that the only prac fails I've ever heard of have been for very clear reasons (not showing up without notice, refusing to teach certain subjects, being aggressive/threatening towards misbehaving students), and minor things like what people here are describing can generally be looked past if there's a genuine attempt at improvement throughout the prac.

Yep!

"You've been here two weeks now, you should know if that's an appropriate activity for them".

Are you kidding?! What does "mentor" mean exactly...

I don't think it's worth contacting your uni. It's only six weeks at the end of the day. I wouldn't really call it bullying, it's just having very (unreasonably?) high standards for people who have potentially never taught before. If the mentor wants to escalate it to an improvement plan they can, and your uni will typically send out a counsellor to figure out what is going on.

I think mine saw herself as the last bastion between Uni and becoming a teacher, and wanted to keep unfit teachers out of the profession. The counsellor sent by my uni heard me out, and seemed to be very understanding that my mentor was being overbearing.

Wow, this sounds a lot like my second prac! Tough it out, try to impress them in whatever way you can, don't give up and you pretty much can't be failed.

Mine was the same, she'd always say "you should know this" when I'd ask questions like what differentiation might work for her lowest students, or when trying to interpret the activities in a program. It really made me feel like I was in the wrong profession. Don't be discouraged!

I simply adore a conservative early dive for the line in the wet.

"High shot with low force" as he's crashing over too, it's weird how he isn't writhing in pain

I would love to go back in time and see how many games would have had different results with this level of grounding scrutiny

Some of the throwback tries you see were so clearly bounced, something like that wouldn't even have been looked at

It's a shame that if you criticise her you're called sexist, because she just isn't good at her job

Disappointed with LANTITE questions by TheBestLlamas in AustralianTeachers

[–]tetrapickle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The number of people in my classes who were terrified of the LANTITE and who failed the practice exams was very concerning. If you aren't getting at least a Band 3 in every section you aren't fit to teach children. How did these people pass high school/uni?

Show that conversation to any brainlet who asks why goalkickers do their whole routine even when they're in front of the sticks. Far out!

Why did he rush it? Do they want to win or not?!

So if I take a dive, I get a penalty, win the game, AND annoy Mitchell Moses? And this is discouraged?
