Hey, Snow!
You've been quiet. How are your travel plans?

[CatMarie]

The Casual Chat thread on the GD board reached that ages ago. This thread is slow in comparison

I could be dumb, blind and stupid, but I can't find that thread I want to poke my head in ( of course . Just to see)

 

[CatMarie]

I did

 

[Strangled Cat]

I did

I was too busy looking for the number 8 to keep track of time.

Did you find it? I counted in my head the seconds while I was looking

 

[Strangled Cat]

Did you find it? I counted in my head the seconds while I was looking

You know that I'm a male, right? How could you possibly expect me to be able to look for the number and count at the same time? I did find it, yes. I'd guess it took me about 40 seconds.

You're up early this morning, Teriyakicat.

 

[Strangled Cat]

I wouldn't want to be a teacher these days. So much more is expected from teachers. And you teach High School too, right?

 

[Teriyakicat]

You're up early this morning, Teriyakicat.

Wet the bed

I'm usually awake at 6-ish but don't get out till 7. This morning my son left at just after 6 and my daughter has Physio before school, so we're leaving 30 minutes early.

What time does your day start, SC?

 

[Teriyakicat]

Good- the teachers can all start teaching useful stuff now!

I agree. I agree. And I'm not a teacher.

My day started a while ago. I leave home at 6:30am. It's a 15 minute drive to the train station. The train takes 50 minutes to get to the city. It's now 8:15am ACST and I've just been bludging since I got to work. I work smarter, not harder.

Media is reporting all the kids are super stressed out and shit... dunno where they're getting that from. I was with the Year 7s all thru NAPLAN this week and they were all cool as cucumbers. And that's the year level too, you will get all the tears and sooks, etc..

 

[Strangled Cat]

I agree. I agree. And I'm not a teacher.

Oh? You're not? I thought you were...

 

[Shell]

-sigh- maybe I should put it in my sig "INTEGRATION AIDE".

 

[Shell]

Sorry it was nothing you did SC am not annoyed at you. I blame NAPLAN.

I don't blame you for being mad at the whole NAPLAN thing, Shell.

An Indian lady that we know wouldn't let her Year 3 daughter go to a party one weekend because she was studying for her NAPLAN
The mother had checked the curriculum, bought the books, etc. and had a timetable worked out for her daughter to follow.

Sad, really.

 

[Shell]

If I could dislike that post I would.

 

[Shell]

Just curious- was that parent Asian by any chance? Can't see an Aussie being too fussed about NAPLAN results.

Amirite
