Always found teachers an interesting bunch, have a couple of aunties who are teachers and i never met a group of people who loves to complain about but also defend their job so hard. It's this weird polarity. Usually their mood intersects with whether or not they are on one of their 20 weeks of annual leave per year :laughing:

Probably because it's a pretty difficult job with some very rewarding moments. It's also at the nexus of a couple of things:
  • Dealing with a basic structure (One adult, 30+ kids in a class) that hasn't changed (and that society generally has refused to think about changing) since the prussian worker schools.
  • Having to deal with the development of these individuals, often at wildly different intellectual and emotional development stages with varying home lives with lots of pressure to make sure they meet the year outcomes.
  • Dealing with various 'stakeholders' who've never actually been in the profession in any meaningful way yet have influence.

Right now I have student abilities ranging from from a Year 2 level to Year 8 level in Maths and the expectation is you are teaching the entitlement (Year 4 content this year) while also adapting the lesson to cater up and down for that skill to a year 8 and year 2 level. Can get pretty square shape in a round hole at times.

When I was in Year 12 I had a first year maths teacher fresh out of college trying to teach me Level 1. I delighted in running a chapter ahead in the text and asking him questions he hadn't prepared for. It was a small school and only I did Level 1.
He liked me and hated me at the same time. I enjoyed imaginary numbers but never cottoned on to Boolean Algebra.

I have never heard of Boolean Algebra. Maybe I was looking out the window at the time or distracted by one of the girls in the class.

I drive a Tesla for work but, although I'm 100% for electric vehicles, I'm embarrassed that people think I support a nazi.

So does my Gurl. Eminently suitable vehicle for a commuter.

The environmental damage is down to lack of regulation in 3rd world countries - as it is with Forestry, Coal, Gold, Tin and every other resource-

The rich plunder the poor. 😞

Elon has always been crazy. Has never invented or originated anything. Absolute leech.

Elon Musk is a prime example of one of my least-favourite recent phenomena, which is people being described as "geniuses" because they're good and successful at something, like no one else on the planet is good and successful at something.

He has a dysfunctional relationship with almost everyone in his life. He's deeply insecure and acts like a ****ing idiot no one would want to be seen in public with. He is wildly uninformed about politics and diplomacy. His body is built like a clogged out-house.

He's a dumb failure in many, many aspects of his life, and like most people, is skilled and good at a small few others. The only difference between him and the rest is his small few areas make him billions of dollars.

And what have his billions gotten him anyway? All that money and "power" for his whole identity to be about fellating a human tyre-stack of melting candle wax. If that's money and power, he can keep it.

I can’t stand the bloke’s public persona.

But if (as claimed) he is autistic, it would explain a fair bit.

To tell you the truth, I find some of his space exploration investments engrossing. Governments since the 1960’s don’t have the money or political capital to invest in the type of engineering Musk and Richard Branson are pursuing. I’m a bit of a space nerd & am glad they’re both looking to advance human endeavours in that field.

What Elon Musk has to do with AFL pre-season I have no idea (sorry bedford) …. I just wish he would stick to engineering, where he’s doing some really cool things and stay out of politics.

Seriously? By all means don’t like the guy, but denying his success, drive and exceptional intelligence is garbage.
