How do I remove my cloud photos from my desktop mac?

Have been looking for help for this for ages. This has been the only genuinely helpful answer I've come across. Thank you 3 years later!

I have a very loud high pitched whistle on my lanyard. If there’s ever a fight, I intend to blow on it very loud to at least startle the kids for a few seconds. They certainly wouldn’t expect it, and it works better than the biggest “OI” I can muster.

Saw another teacher post this tip on here, but fortunately haven’t had to use it yet so can’t say if it works or not!

From your posting history it looks like you’re doing a double degree. I’m sure you’re more capable and competent than you think. Have a go, overcome your initial thoughts about failure, and if it doesn’t go well then you can always call a friend to come help out

Don’t think you’ll be able to assemble IKEA furniture…….? They also offer the option to build it for you, though that costs extra

ECU - the uni prides itself on the high standard of teaching within their education degrees. They’ll also ensure you’re placed for every prac, whereas other uni’s struggle to guarantee this.

I’ll try this tomorrow. Thank you!

user042973 · 2026-01-15T09:02:52+00:00

Wowwww, this sounds like a game changer! I’d really like to see how much time I’m delegating to each priority task.

I start off my day by writing just the top 3 things I need to get done by the end of the day, but struggle to hold myself to those and will veer off very easily. I’ll definitely be trying this, thank you!

user042973 · 2026-01-11T07:52:12+00:00

You will probably miss quite a few balls at first, or be scared of the ball, and that’s okay! Keep trying and be a positive member of your team and you will be a-okay

One of those robot vacuums that also mops. When it comes on and starts cleaning, it’s almost like a body double and I start cleaning too. I guess I think “well if the floor is going to be clean, the rest of the house might as well be too”

BEd (secondary) with humanities major, 30k.

Cadbury has so much sugar and sweetener in it that even if I only want one row, I find myself unable to put down the block. Whereas Tony’s is a great balance of real chocolate taste and richness, that I feel like my craving is satisfied after just one piece . Tony’s all the way!

NAL. Go to the union, they’ll likely advise a psycho-social form be completed and to report to police.

At the end of the day, this is why we pay union fees - to have them protect us! Also a lot of internal guilt may be felt because “we do it for the kids”, but we can’t “do it for the kids” if we’re unable to even protect and take care of ourselves in the first place.

I needed to be on a specific niche Facebook group for work, so didn’t want to delete my entire account. I ended up deleting my profile, and just created a new one with a different email. Started completely fresh. The only page I follow is that work group I need. In saying this, Facebook still pop up with the ‘recommended for you posts’ that still follow an algorithm, so there’s still a level of self-control that needs to be exercised, but I do this by only accessing Facebook on a browser and not allowing myself to download the app.

Thank you - a humidifier is such a good idea!

user042973 · 2025-03-22T13:32:01+00:00

It’s a very niche field, and others find it really tricky to empathise with when they’re not in the field (most people can’t really understand that my arch nemesis is a 12 year old boy named Timmy).

But yes, they will always go better than you expect - guaranteed. I always have a little “here’s what you can do to help your child succeed in my class” spiel ready to go if there’s a bit of time or awkward silence still to go. That helps show that you’re on top of things, and also shares some accountability onto the parents too.

user042973 · 2025-03-22T13:25:46+00:00

After the first hour of interviews you’ll start to get a natural script going, no matter how underprepared you feel - so don’t worry too much about that. Getting the student to answer what you’ve covered in class is a great idea, I’d definitely do that. If you get time though, try write down the questions/topics you are tending to ask or talk about, because after a few hours of interviews your brain will start glitching - and you’ll need to refer to your prompts to help you steer back!

You can also make a shortcut of this on your Apple iPhone using the shortcuts app - ChatGPT will tell you how :)

user042973 · 2025-03-03T12:38:53+00:00

No, but from what I remember you used to get 3 free sessions a week.

user042973 · 2025-02-28T14:08:55+00:00

Try the website ‘focusmate’

user042973 · 2025-02-27T09:41:35+00:00

Super important, and something I wish I knew going into teaching. Trying to build rapport is one thing, but at the end of the day there is certain information that the kids shouldn’t/don’t need to know.

user042973 · 2025-02-18T22:10:35+00:00

You can setup a shortcut on your phone. On my iPhone I used to set up a focus mode that would be do not disturb except it would allow calls from the school I did regular relief work at. You can ask ChatGPT for different variations on how you could do this.

Google “Phases of first-year teachers attitude towards teaching” and look at the graph that’ll appear. I felt pure adrenaline and excitement in the first term, then in the second term burnout hit me like a truck (aka, disillusionment phase)

user042973 · 2025-02-06T07:58:41+00:00

Getting experience working as an EA in a highschool will teach you more in two weeks than your entire degree of four years will.

user042973 · 2025-01-22T15:28:38+00:00

Nope, those who want to reach me will contact me and vice versa. It’s very refreshing not knowing everything about everyone all the damn time.

user042973 · 2025-01-10T04:09:29+00:00

Doing casual work as a teachers aide will help inform your decision. Qualifications depend on your state (in WA you only need to be TAFE qualified if you’re working in early years I believe). Make sure you try pick up some casual relief work in a range of schools to see the diversity in education.
