    Secondary Thinking about becoming a teacher

    A teacher in Melbourne south east. We are on-site at school this week preparing for remote learning. Our principal is allowing us to work 4 out of 5 days from home and we come in 1 day per work as a team e.g specialists on a specific day. Most see happy with this arrangement

    Secondary Thinking about becoming a teacher

    Teaching can be a great job or it can be a stressful job- depends on a few things. I have been a teacher for 23 years, when I first started teaching was fun and enjoyable, these days its all about scores and data and less about actual teaching. Then you have to hope you have a good school which...

    Secondary Thinking about becoming a teacher

    What I find is that first year teachers think they are above having an older experienced teacher giving them advice or making comments on their ability to teach. I think it is just their generation, if you say something to them, they will run to the principal and complain and they then have the...

    Employment Arrogance at work...

    Its an unfortunate situation- there seems to be one person like that in most workplaces. You could do one of two things- kill him with kindness and be super nice and friendly to him (even though you dont really mean it) and then he will start to think about how he is treating you or just come...

    Secondary Thinking about becoming a teacher

    That's how I'm feeling atm (unappreciated). Our Prin doesn't even celebrate world teachers day. Staff Morale is probably at an all time low in the staffroom where they don't venture into to mingle with us. From my understanding quite few of us are looking out at years end God that sounds...

    Secondary Thinking about becoming a teacher

    Good thats sounds so much like my situation. Exactly the same- the women cause the issues, then run to the principal and play the victim. I had a piss weak principal, so I went out on stress leave for 4 months and feel better for it, now have taken LWOP for 6 months and will see what happens at...

    Secondary Thinking about becoming a teacher

    I have been a teacher for 23 years and have taken Leave without Pay for the rest of the year also. Had enough of weak principal who allows teachers to bully other teachers and has not done a thing about it- basically he buries his head in a bucket and hope the problems go away. I will do CRT...

    Are you in the industry you wanted to be in in high school?

    I didnt have a clue as to what I was going to do leaving secondary school. I finished secondary school one week started in the bank the following week, was in a hold up and left 1 year later. Got into teaching and have enjoyed it, mostly. I enjoy teaching kids and parents were great to me, hated...

    Secondary Thinking about becoming a teacher

    I read your recent post with a smile- I work/ed in a primary school and have gone out on stress from dealing with whinging females who try the power struggle and if/ when it doesn't work they complain to leadership and play the victim and accuse the other person of being the bully. My only...

    Secondary Thinking about becoming a teacher

    You generally dont get much much more to teach in remote areas. Look at teaching overseas- that is where the money is.

    Secondary Thinking about becoming a teacher

    After reading your post- A lot of what you wrote is what a lot of student teachers go through. I had simiiar experiences when I was a student teacher- on my last round I had a bitch for a supervising teacher- who was a bad teacher and impossible to please. If you come this far stick it through-...

    The I hate my job thread

    I agree 100 % with the previous comment. I am a primary teacher and these days whatever you say to a female they will go and complain to the principal who gives them the forum to do so- you cant win. I dont associate with many females- they just cause too many issues. The good advice was to stay...

    Secondary Thinking about becoming a teacher

    We dont have parent issues, our kids are generally pretty good, its the other teachers and aspects of leadership that will drive me out of teaching

    Secondary Thinking about becoming a teacher

    Agree with the last comment. I am a teacher in a primary school- the kids are great, its the other teachers that are the problems. When we finished yesterday, we all left straight away, people who went into the staff room for drinks, just whinge and complain and are so negative. I would advise...

    Employment Stuck in a rut

    Boy when I read this initial post it sounds just like my situation. I am a primary school teacher in a situation where basically I enjoy the kids and teaching but don't like some of the adults that I work with. I don't trust many there, have become paranoid about what people think about me and...

    The Ride and The Outsiders

    Been a long time reader of these forums but rarely post. Went to this afternoons showing at Yarraville. Took everyone on a journey from end of 2014 to the Grand Final of 2016. Very emotional sitting there with Bulldogs supporters re-living the greatest roller coaster ride ever. Lots of great...

    No doubt the Sacramento Kings teams were just beautiful teams to watch. They got screwed in Game 6. Check out youtube- The Greatest tragedy in sports. A great doco about how the kings were robbed

    University of California Riverside. His brother got there last week, then they went down to Miami for a holiday. Great kid, about 6 8", reasonably mobile, think of a bigger version of Will Minson

    Bring Patton to the Western Bulldogs in Season 2014

    Patton is overseas in the USA at the moment visiting his older brother who plays college basketball in Los Angeles. If Bulldogs were smart they would rookie list his brother who is bigger and stronger and could certainly be a useful back up

    Primary Salaries Rates for Primary Teachers

    I have been a Primary teacher for 20 years and teach in the south- east of Melbourne. You are right when you start on 57,000 it seems good, but trust me as you work your way through you will see that teachers are indeed underpaid. I would never want to be a leading teacher, for an extra $5000...

    Kyrie Irving...Australian

    His dad played for Bulleen in 1992 when Brett Browb coached the team in SEABL. Was a All Star back in 92, hell of a nice guy. Had some tragedy in their lives, so good luck to them both.
