Any folks on here in education?  The teacher's side of the desk?  I'm a high school teacher and I know there are a few of you lurking around these forums...

 

yes

 

 

Retired teacher since August last year, after 40 years. Been a Dees supporter since watching the '64 Grand Final.

Even more lucky you

Actually since this topic has been opened let me say that our education system is [censored] up beyond belief. I read today that Australia is falling behind on all educational measures - doesn't surprise me at all.

Being a teacher is the best way to live out your footballing fantasies by coaching kids and getting a day off school every few weeks. I've been doing it for 20 years.


You'd think with all these bloody teachers I'd learn something from this forum....

Son of a teacher, was a longtime spouse of a teacher, big chunk of friends are teachers. Enrolled in secondary teaching... but they all warned me off it in time, for which I'm thankful.

Also did a lot of time in education stats for federal government.

They really are as bad as the stereotype up there, not a deep breath worth of pedagogical knowledge among them, and the bureaucracy really needs to leave teachers the ____ alone.

 


No but my dad was and out of us three boys, two of us are!

one like me is a keen Dees supporter, the other one has no interest at all in afl.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
