I am a trained technology teacher, specialising in IT, but in NSW, you must be able to teach woodwork, metalwork, cooking, D&T etc, in stage 4 (years 7 and 8), as it is an compulsory subject. As much as Cliff is on the money in some areas, classroom management is an issue when the kids do not...

I know this thread is about becoming a teacher, but after the year I've had and issues I've faced at my new school, I am off on ongoing sick leave and thinking of leaving. Anyone know of any professions where my skills are useful? I don't particularly want to retrain again to the same extent as...

They won't shut schools anywhere. Even if there is a significant risk to one and all. They may shut some schools, but not all. Gladys jumped ahead several "phases" here in NSW with f-all notice. And I say to any parents who whinge and bitch about schools being closed and them having to home...

Update on my previous post - this "ban" has now resulted in a bunch of students being unable to complete an assignment on time, as I had to give up computer room bookings and every other teacher has got them. I hope they're ******* happy - they've punished other classes because of one ratbag...

One of our assistant/deputy principals is like this. How the * he got into the position is beyond me. We've just moved into new classrooms and one of my classes, the ratbag class, took it upon themselves to smash a brand new TV when they were told explicitly, several times, NOT to go into a...

I'd like to shoot her over a border. Preferably into North Korea. Seriously, I know how we had two bowls of s**t to vote for in the previous state election, but man, we didn't realise this bowl of s**t had a nasty aftertaste.

* Gladys. Easing back into things my arse. She's just gone from 0 to 100 in record time! Should have made all kids go back in one week, not next Monday. Once again, I am changing my plans at the whim of someone who looks like a discount Squidwad. Please NSW, do not vote for this idiot...

Amen mate. We started off with week 1 (we call it week 0 at our school because of year 7), always causes a few headaches as the year 7 orientation activities take up the choice rooms. Namely my computer labs. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

I taught at a school where we got the bulk of our kids from the English language school, and even then, they still don't get it. They only spend six months (I think) and then they're sent to which ever school they're intended to go into. Some adapt successfully, Asian Tiger mum mentality and...

I think that might have been part of my problem - I had a year 7 and a year 8 class, and took them from term 4 onwards. If I had to be transferred again, I wouldn't want it to start at term 4 - you only get a small amount of time to build a rapport. Term 1, plenty of time. I'd say, be patient...

Depends on the type of transfer, but usually you don't get a say in where you are posted. I have had family issues in the area where I was being transferred to (as in there are members of the family we do not associate with as they have gotten fairly violent in the past), and tried to get it...

I'm a high school teacher, hitting 5-6 years in the job, retraining after bouncing around from job to job. I started a term into 2014 and spent terms 2-4 as casual. Got a 12 month temp gig the next year, then a permanent position the next year. Surprised I got permanency that fast, but there you...

This sounds like a cult. :D :D :D
