@Burthstone In Australia we had (Well have, but that's going to change) this thing called permanency. And for the teachers and EA's it was great, because it meant they'd have permanent positions in school. Lately the government has realised that this is a very easy way for staff members to become complacent so they're removing it. Everyone will have to apply for contracts now and will need to re-apply for them.

That doesn't effect me because I only work relief, so I'm not contracted. I'm just the guy they call when someone is sick.

@Leslie Hall

Be honest

The government is screwed.

Honestly I was guaranteed a nursing job and that's another reason why I'm not doing nursing anymore. They would rather bring in foreign nurses (nothing against them but employ within Australia first!) then new students.

The government sucks

I was studying to become a teacher earlier this year (Primary school, not High School). I decided to change my degree to a Game Design course because I'm young and I've always wanted to try something like this (When this course is over I'll probably go back to teaching).

At the moment I'm comfortable with just being an Education Aid (teacher assistant). I work with special needs children so the teachers I'm with are obviously all very qualified to handle working with difficult students. Because of this I've kind of gained an understanding of just how much work being a teacher is and how you need to be very flexible and bend to your student's needs.

Now the problem I have with a lot of highschool teachers; they weren't really trained to do this. A lot of teachers for secondary school, while they are quite knowledgeable in their field, did not go through the entirety of the Bachelor of Education. All they had to do was complete a one year Post-Graduate course after they finished studying their field and boom their a teacher.

I've always disliked this because that one year isn't enough to really learn how to properly teach a class imo. They don't learn how to adjust their teaching style and make use of different resources to help EVERY student and because of this I've often found A LOT of high school teachers to not be very good. They're excellent in their field, but they lack the proper knowledge on how to teach it to others. A lot of them are good people, don't get me wrong, but they're not really good teachers.

Sorry for ranting. I've just had a decent amount of experience working with schools and these are just some things that I've picked up and/or discussed with other teachers/aids

@Leslie Hall

To be honest that's what I think about the state of nursing at the moment and hence why I got out of it. Some scrap through and then they are suddenly nurses and u just couldn't do it. By the end of third year I was like...I don't want to be in this sort of environment

So
I understand

Tell her "Nakle"

And see if she gets it.

My chem. Teacher hates it. In a funny not actualy hate way. Its hard to explain if you have never met my chem. Teacher. He is funny and freindly when he wants to be and serious when he needs to be. The best part is, with him, its hard to tell one from the other.

@Crimson Raven

Mine treats us like little kids "now guys lets do this! What do you get if you add this with that? Let's do it!" In a voice designated for children. I hate her. I will get a good mark in the exam just so I never have to see her again. It is my revenge my personal vendetta against her.

@Caits
I would punch her honestly XD

@Lunarlors34

If j see her I might just.

I wanna post

My chemistry teacher is a sadistic bitch.

I lost three marks in a test because she wrote "....dissolved in MeOH...." There is no effine Me in the periodic table right, and I'm like what the hell?

She wrote to me "I expected more, you should know by now that Me is methyl, and therefore this is methanol."

I felt like punching her in the face. Who does that? You writes methyl as Me in a damn thing like that? When you expect it to be elements not a frigging short hand!

My school has the most awesome teachers I have ever met...and some of the worst students I have ever known. Seriously, most of the guys are perverts and jerks.

@Crimson Raven

That's the same here at the moment with my pharmacy classes. Most of the students Re 18 year olds and they are all pretty much jerks and perverts. There's only about 10 percent of U.S. Older then 20 and who aren't oerverts.

Of course, that ten percent is anime freaks and nerds XD

You're teachers sound okay, and hopefully you can figure out a way to fix those grades

Uhh, my guitar teacher (who was also my 7th and 8th grade history teacher, and my mentor last year.)

We meet every friday after school.

@Crimson Raven

Oh well.

At least you can talk with people

Sometimes j think teachers just like to trip us a up

Just felt like mentioning that we're less than 50 posts away from having 5,000 posts in the IC :)

@Expolar

^.^

Yay

<Snipped quote by Caits>

I can. I have a mentor and usually meet with him weekly.

But honestly, the whole "boohoo, life aint fair" is not me. I'm more like "Screw it, lets get it done, move on and forget about it."

@Crimson Raven

That's good you have a mentor, what about another teacher?

<insert rant>

One of those the offending assinment is finished, and I have e-mailed it to the teacher over and over but for some reason, she has never gotten it.

The other, somehow I missed three homework assignments in a row.

One top of that I was sick yesterday and now have a fuckload of stuff to make up including a personal essay that is due monday, a bible essay that is due (no idea when) that I havent evem started. Two tests, three homeworks and a partridge in a pear tree.

...

It never rains...

@Crimson Raven

huggles

I'm happy to help if you want to rant and complain. Sometimes that helps

Can you talk with anyone?

Phoenix Wing (A Fairy Tail RP-Always Open, Open)

Is there something wrong when two weeks into a new semester, you have

2 A s
2 B s
And
2 F s

?

@Crimson Raven

No. Just work to fix those two Fs!

What's wrong with it?
