Education & Reference Excellent antics at school

[breeno]

I don't know how Pacey is going to come back from this one. Some serious pwnage there.

FWIW Pacemaker, you should be trying to help kids, teaching them to want to learn, not just disposing of them outside at any sign of disinterest. Most kids don't develop an interest until they mature. The guy who will most likely DUX it at our school whilst be an intelligent year 11, had no drive to succeed and now he has matured he is dominating.

I'm looking at getting into secondary teaching probably through an Arts double degree at Uni next year, and personally it was just a word of warning that sitting kids outside, out of the range of your supervision probably isn't going to go down to well if that kid screws up and you weren't there to supervise him. Surely there is a 'room' at the school where they can be sent to after the correct warning procedure has been undertaken, a room where they have supervision? Most schools in my area do this.


Just food for thought.

Note: I'm not going to be one of them guys who goes into teaching through lack of other options, the ATAR I'm likely to get would allow me to get into most courses of my choosing, schooling and teaching is just something I'm passionate about.

Yes, as a matter of fact I am mad.

For years it has seemed to me like the standards of teaching have been slowly but surely declining. I witnessed many student teachers in my time and they seemed to decline in quality as time went on.

I had a friend at school who was pre-accepted to do teaching at ND, he scored a TER of 57, and this is deplorable, the standard of teachers coming through the ranks best exemplified by my friend from school and through you are an indication of how much trouble we are in.

The recent election also bodes as a reminder that there is no way but down unless we get quality teachers through the ranks instead of hacks such as yourself, I will ensure that the school which my child attends is free from ECU graduates, as ECU is one of the worst tertiary institutions in the world, it only exists out of the necessity of people to have some backing, any backing to get a job in the modern workforce.

The simple fact that you cannot follow the most basic disciplinary rules is testament to the fact that you are nothing but a polished ****, you constantly try and act in a mature manner but time and time again you are found out to be a know nothing idiot. If you do somehow land a job as a teacher, I can only hope that it is with a grade 1 or 2 class, so there is still time to repair the damage you inflict on the children by passing on your idiocy.

The teaching crisis is a dilemma which needs to be assessed quickly, teachers need more money, but not hack teachers like you. GOOD teachers deserve the pay raises, and I believe it should come at the expense of so called professionals such as yourself who do not hold a candle to a person who teaches because they are passionate, not because they weren't smart enough to get into anything else.

Best, post ever.

My school antics were cruel and appalling. I am now receiving karma as a substitute teacher

Porter from Carlton was a substitute teacher of mine.

Was awesome because you'd just break out the discman (yeah shockwave discman) and listen to music as he proceeded not to give a ****.

 

[raskolnikov]

Not meant to send kids outside anymore mate, if they do something bad outside of your supervision, you're ****ed.

Surely your lawyers have told you this?

Depends on whether or not you can still see them. I have a desk just outside my classroom that I can see through the windows of my class. If a student is being disruptive I send him/her there to work quietly for a while. But no you shouldn't leave them outside of eye's view.

 

[SweetLeftFoot]

In the spirit of this thread, I think any posters revealing themselves to be teachers should be taunted and goaded without mercy.

Paedos that they are.

 

[smiddaz123]

If students don't want to learn they will struggle in life later on so I don't get to fussed when they don't want to learn as it is their choice to learn or not. When they interfere with others learning then they can sit outside either in the hot or cold if they are really bad.

If you're a primary school teacher, this is a terrible attitude towards teaching.

In year 11 and 12 we sat next to the basketball courts (outdoor court). We put 4 chairs (usually seated about 4 each) in a square next the the courts, that was where out group sat, when not playing basketball.

There was also a group close to the court on the other side who had a couple of chairs and a fixed bench, who were in an elevated position.

One more group sat about 50 meters away near a fence that bordered private housing. They had a couple of chairs.

One day we noticed out chairs had been ransacked during someones free/waging period. We'd steal them back in our free and this went on for a couple of days. Taunting a group who had no chairs was fun, especially when most of us played basketball ad a few of us just stretched out.

Then one lunch time, we hear a ruckas, the closest group charges our area and what can only be described as a massive game of brittish bulldog involving chairs errupted. The group down the end caught on and it was a 40-50 strong game. People diving onto chairs that were making way into enemy territory, people coming off the top rope (jumping off the chairs) to slam someone and the old, 'slip a proper hit' on that kid you don't like.

The lunch brawel was mostly a wash as the ease of taking a 4 man chair 50 meters past 40 blokes isn't a cake walk.

We signalled to the end group that we had a free period next period and they can kiss their chairs goodbye. They responded by sacrificing it over the fence into some guys backyard whilst yelling that "if we can't have it, noone can!".

There was then a school assembaly which involved our principal who looked like an action man figure chewing everyone out, good times.


In R&S (Religion, which formed a compulsory part of our Enter score....) we used to all get new sealed bottles of water, pin a hole in the top and spray the American teacher in the calves. He always wore shorts, which never sits right in winter (paedo). He'd accuse a random and their bottle would be sealed. Seeing as 90% of the class had a bottle of water, all sealed and half empty, it led to the banning of water in the room.



One good game (good, meaning time killer and random) was whenever there was a bottle or a can on the ground, if you kicked it through someones legs, everyone got to punch them once. If you shut your legs punches ensued. This was fun enough at lunch, where it was fairly structured, but the game could kick off anywhere, like an outdoor assembly A little flick of the floor and the principal would have seen 20 kids converge on one soul. This game would usually result in the offenders being told to go pick up all the rubbish....that's like telling a sniper to go collect bullets, just meant the game was on the move.


An over zealous game of 'brandy' with a basketball resulted in the chewing out of a couple of people by the portable wall. This is nothing unusual in itself, but when one smart **** decides the game should continue, and you see the ball sailing past the teachers shoulders and through our year level coordinators window.....lulz ensue.


One lesson our teacher didn't show. Had the room to ourselves in a fairly isolated area of the school, only 3-5 rooms in a 20 meter area. The blinds get shut, the fans go on and a game of dodgeball breaks out. you had to get to the front and back of the classroom 3 times without being hit. Rubbers, dusters, pencil cases, some guys $150 calculator became tools. Noone getting through, seemingly impossible, but one guy gets through......class clown/tough guy (likely failure of the future but there for everyone else's enjoyment) throws a chair and cops him clean. This stirs up a ruckus but we're so involved in this game we don't care. We continue the running of the gauntlet until a co-ordinator (big angry ranga) walks in and screams. It's at this time a perfectly placed duster went up, came off the fan and into the teachers gut. We then spent the next few lunches there.

there was a guy at school called leigh

once he did something wrong and everyone yelled out leeighhh

then it gradually got bigger until one period all the year 10 classes were in the same block, one block heard leighh then that set off the next and then the whole school was doing it.

was a meeting to say that we couldnt do it anymore

 

[coke_zero]

Lol. Harcore. You must be a troll. It's the only way.

Just in case you're not, year 12 kids will of course mess around with younger kids, especially on muck-up day, but they're not going to keep a list of what each kid has done that might be ammo for them. If they do, then quite frankly they're ****ing weird. If an older kid wants to pick on a younger one, they can tell who to go to by looking at them, listening to them, or in your case, reading them. They don't need to know who they are to know which ones are the nerds/geeks/sad cases.

good on you. You dont write dowm a list you just remember. and if your not in yr 12 you gotta be ready. me and a few mates found a yr 12's stash and we ended up getting them, so fun times.

What can we do? confiscate 25 ipods/discmans? it's either all or none. Without any policy or threat of recourse, the kids get away with it and i just let them go.

Everytime this weird as guy in our class stuffed up, we all said good onya in a sarcastic voice when he walked past. Easy as but drove him insane.

You're an idiot. I can tell you, year 12's don't keep track of younger kids to 'target'.

 

[coke_zero]

You're an idiot. I can tell you, year 12's don't keep track of younger kids to 'target'.

i can tell you they do though.

 

[ballanFYNE]

i can tell you they do though.

I have to agree with this.
I've learnt from experiences..................

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

i can tell you they do though.

i back this up, am in year 12 now.... targeting them is actually the best part

 

[anti_]

why would year 12s give a shit about the younger kids?

 

[ballanFYNE]

Reputation points.

 

[Mattman93]

That's ******ed, sounds like you guys year groups are just massive speds.

haha we used to do that with a kid whose surname was Mallet. only we called him Malloway for some reason ... he worked at the HJs near our school. quite often a group of us would go there and just sit there shouting it at him till we got kicked out.

 

[coke_zero]

You sir just got owned! They probs do it for fun.

 

[clivewaterhousen]

Why on Earth would you not go to ECU? Sure it has a shit reputation, but who cares, I'd rather go to a uni in which the units are as easy as possible. So you can ahead and waste your time doing harder units and spend more time studying, which I doubt you do because you go to Curtin (I think) which is an almost an equally as crap uni as ECU, in a worse socioeconomic area which is almost impossible to get to by car and even if you do get their it's a mission to get parking. Not to mention the facilties at Curtin are quite shocking where as ECU offers better facilities then all other WA uni's. UWA is the only prestige uni in the state so unless you go there I'd get off your high horse because in the end it's going to make no difference what uni you go to and so long as you have a degree you will be making no more dosh then me upon graduation.

will remain atop my high horse.

thanks for the kind words.

 

[Mattman93]

Haha, vintage Clive.

Agree.

Wtf!

I mean, if it's a kid at your school who looks exactly like Bronson from Round The Twist, then well you'll notice him and pick on him them. I don't keep a list of people to pick on. Wtf!
