I think we should keep our "coach" away for the next game. Our German leader did enough! He knows how to get the best out of his strikers! :wa:

It is nice to say... I told you so... blues going to final. Not bad for a div 4 team. We warned you hypester nomads. Inter, that's a shock for sure. Was hoping for a ncu/inter final. I'll say our boys will win a nice league/cup double this year. We still may get a blues-inter final in bradner.

The bctf have balls'ed some things up. We should have been in phase 2 since christmas to try and hasten the "negotiations" and the strike was a little too late. We lost money, the government saved $33m. What people don't realize is that we want a better learning environment and to have a say in...

Dodgeball is usually only a short unit. We should do more dodgeball. If you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a ball! Pity the tech ed department are tight with the wrench supply!

I know you haven't been in the classroom since grade 6 but don't hate on teachers. Obviously they choose when the government tells them to have their breaks! Much love to all the supporters of teachers on ttp

me too. I'm not even a teacher!

Thanks for the support oh mighty one! I am doing my job perfectly well (parent comminucation included) and I don't need a ramped up know it all on TTP telling me any different. If you don't need report cards then why do we do them? They take a lot of time and if you already know how well your...

Thanks for letting me know my reasons for teaching. You're right... money, money, money! If you only know how well your kids are doing in school because you read a piece of paper 3 times a year. WOW!

WOW. As for your comments about things we "don't do" and painting us all with the same brush.. that's the problem with people like you. I give my time every week to my students in sports (basketball/volleyball coaching, before/after school clubs, homework clubs and most definitely in providing...

You just backed up what I previously said. If a teacher is not voluteering and is a shitty teacher then yes they should be fired or at least moved somewhere else with the expectation that they improve. I am not sure what you think I am saying? You seem only to focus on the amount of hours a...

Teachers - 50 hrs/week = 2000 hours per year in a 40 week school year Everyone else - 40hrs/week = 2000 hours per year in a 50 week work year YEAH I GET IT - Big difference there isn't there?

What you on your own time outside of your job has no relevance to this. You won't get fired from your job if you don't go coach kids soccer on the weekend or help out with charitable causes. The new bill says that we can be fired if we don't volulnteer our time and someone else is willing to...

Hours of work differ for everyone. this isn't teachers work little and everyone else works more! Regardless of hours, pay, good, bad... if your boss said to you that you had to volunteer time and not get paid you will be fired - that's bullshit whatever job you are in. This isn't just for...

For the amount of time we put in a week (45-55) starting teachers (like me) make approx $20-25/hr. That's such a great rate of pay for university graduates working in an "essential" service! if our job is so easy and we get fantastic pay for doing nothing then sign yourself up for the easy life...

That's not the point! I came out of pdp two years ago and I coach two teams a year plus set up my own clubs throughout. I never close my door at break and lunch, essentially forfeiting my time to help kids, run clubs, coach etc! The point being made is that this is not a requirement and we don't...
