Teaching Discussion

[I Lost My Keays]

If I was going to teach , I would teach from year 10 to 12.

Isn't Dangerfield's dad a teacher??? I see where this is going

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

Hot, reasonably well paid nerds

Are these different teachers?

He was. He's retired now.

IIRC - both mum and dad were.

Hopefully he was taught a thing or two about loyalty and sticking by your mates in tough times...

Definitely signing then.

Sounds like fun & it feels better to be able to discuss rather then spend your time on behaviour management, but the documentation for Year 12s is OTT.

LOL - year 8 to 10 requires far more behaviour management as the campaigners answer back.

LOL, I guess. didn't say you were well compensated but you know there are a lot of people out there that work full weeks and don't get 50k so if you are a teacher of 10 years standing, you are getting reasonable money in comparison.

Yeah, you are possibly correct but now is not the time or place to get into an economical discussion on the monetary values of a 4 year university degree.

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

Well, I'm going to slay the dragon.

Night all. Happy teaching.

 

[mickfaxis]

Just reads my program. She has never seen me teach, ever.

But thats ok.

That's irresponsible I reckon.

 

[Freshj]

Im a teacher in a special needs pragram. Minimal planning, no marking, no grading, just fun! 12weeks off to relax sorry

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

The number of teachers here, makes me wonder if I ever had any of you as one of my teachers, I highly doubt it though.

yeah we did, I often thought of years 9 and 10 as the dickhead year levels.

Dangers mum isn't a teacher, I don't think, given she works for Costa.

I studied Upper Primary/Lower Secondary teaching for a year but got disheartened with the class where we were taught how to make play - doh.

Be honest... How much of it did you eat?

Year 10 - young enough to have kiddy immaturity, old enough to have adult-like cynicism. It still sticks out in my mind as the worst year.

That's why you put buckets of salt in the mix so no one shoves it in their mouth…well at least not a second time.


Edit: Wait, -idea -if you put arsenic in the mix they'd only ever taste it once anyways. Think of all the play dough you'd save.

What are these pupil free days they speak of ?

People walk around with their eyes shut

I'm jealous of school teachers and their 12 weeks of holidays, especially their summer holidays!

In my humble experience, those that become teachers never really leave school and it shows.
Most of them have a high regard for themselves and do not know why; otherwise they might take their head out of their collective arkses.

And what do you do?

Then we can judge your pompous attitude?

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

Under the current Collect Bargaining Agreement - contract teachers are required to be given 30 hours a year of professional learning. Schools give students the day off to allow teachers that opportunity to do further T&D

That's something like 6 a year.

Im retired....You a teacher ?

What did you do before you retired?
