You Am I posted:So Coalition MP Andrew Laming has pretty well laid his boot into all teachers, saying that they are lazy, that the bad teachers get paid the same as good teachers thanks to UNIONS and they should have fewer holidays. I'm not sure which part of his whole screed was my favourite. I think it was either when he suggested that teachers are wasting their time working at home, that they should work eight hours a day, or when he criticised them for their breaks "mirroring their students". The whole thing is full of contradictions that show how little he knows about

This wonderful utopia where homework doesn't need marking, lesson plans don't need creating in addition to extra curricular activities that need supervising. Because as we all know they just show up at 830, have a 15 minute break around 10, a 40 minutes break around 1230 and then are back home by 345. A smooth 4 and half hourish work day all said and done, drat leeches on society. I suppose though less critical thinking in students means more votes for the LNP.

I don't know the full content of what he said but the gist I got from the article was that teachers should work 8 hour days and that should be sufficient to cover everything they need to do, and shouldn't have to be working at home/after hours/weekends, which is a totally unrealistic expectation given schools have extracurricular programs that need people to run them, and marking etc. doesn't fit neatly into convenient daily blocks. I'd be in favor of teachers having to spend less of their personal time slaving to their work. But given it's an LNP member saynigi t, it's probably lazy leaner teachers working 4 hours too many holidays!

Yeah, my partner teaches grade 1 and she's usually at work by between 7 and 7:30am and rarely leaves work before 5pm and quite often brings work home with her. She's also tired as gently caress by the time she's home because she's had to deal with 26 or so 6 and 7 year olds. I'll take my job working 12 hour shifts, nights, weekends and public holidays over dealing with the education department and self entitled parents any day because gently caress dealing with that poo poo.

Teaching is legitimately a poo poo profession and I’ll be discouraging my children from pursuing a teaching career. - Difficult to get permanency - Generally underpaid - Lots of unpaid overtime - Perceived as lucky by the public (muh school holidays) - School is treated like daycare by parents I don’t see much of this changing in the future. I’m not a teacher but many in my close family are teachers and the younger female ones seem to regret it. They want to/are already studying something else. Unfortunately I don’t see much of this changing in the future.

Seeing as most of the better candidates got pulled into state parliament by the recent greens/ALP landslide, I'm wondering if they have anyone talented to step up. I know the liberals will preselect the same moronic born to rule Mirabella wannabe they always seem to float in this seat, so whoever gets it gets it.

It's an unusual tactic to publicly and actively take the stance of "actually, we value teachers too much in society" but well here we are.

The whole thing is full of contradictions that show how little he knows about As a teacher I'd love to have my days restricted to 8 hours. That is my minimum day, and I'm rather efficient so I don't usually go too far over that except when it's test time, exam time, I've got some sort of day coming up where I'm not in so I need to prepare everything for a relief teacher. Soooo... yeah. What he is actually suggesting is hiring a fuckload more teachers and giving teachers a lot more student free time during those 8 hours. He doesn't know that is what he is suggesting, but he's suggesting an increase in all education budgets by about a third to a half I would think. Maybe even just straight up doubling it, I know how much work some of those primary school teachers put in, up until 10 or 11 some nights. Is that going to come from the Federal Budget because I don't see the State governments doubling their staff numbers. But if he took our holidays away I could see everyone quitting from stress, we need those holidays not only to prepare, but just to unwind. Holy poo poo. You don't know what it is like. It's not like 32 kids is a hassle all on their own to handle, we can manage that. It's the emotional baggage they pile on you. We had a spate of suicides a while back that went on for 2 years. Like... gently caress. Kids who are on special plans and in care because their parents tortured them as toddlers, sexually abused kids, people who self harm, kids who don't get any food from home. That holiday time is a health requirement.

Teachers need to hang on to their rights with both hands if not more. When right-wing shitstains are in charge they're a favourite target. I don't know how to communicate to the world how much work a teacher does without knowing or being a teacher. They should straight up do a "My Teacher Rules" show or something like that to show the long hours and stresses that teachers go through.

The pop psy my teacher mate put forward that I think nails the problem is that everyone immediately recalls the worst teacher they ever had and it is so viscerally bad they ironically can't get past the feeling to realise why good teachers are so important.

Ipswich mayor Andrew Antoniolli, who last year replaced embattled former mayor Paul Pisasale, has himself been charged with seven cases of fraud. The Crime and Corruption Commission charged Cr Antoniolli, 47, with seven charges of fraud. "The CCC will allege the man utilised Ipswich City Council funds for his own use to purchase auction items from charitable organisations between 26 October 2011 and 20 May 2017," the CCC said in a statement. "The man was bailed and is expected to appear in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on 16 May 2018." In a statement issued to media on Wednesday afternoon, Cr Antoniolli said it was "with much disappointment and frustration" that he confirmed the charges laid against him. "Let me be clear – I have never been involved in corrupt or criminal activity and I intend to fight these charges," he said. "These charges will not define me." Cr Antoniolli said he stood in last year's mayoral byelection on a "platform of accountability and transparency" and said he would not stand down. "I promised to lift the veil of secrecy and to review our policies and procedures to increase transparency, and while there is more work to be done, we have made incredible inroads in regards to significant culture and governance reform," he said. "I have a wonderful executive team, professional staff serving the community, and a loving family. "I have served our city and its people for 18 years, 28 years if you include my time as police officer and I do not intend to step down any time soon." Mr Pisasale resigned last year and has been charged with official corruption.
