Aight i'm gonna level with you, even 'upstanding' citizens in this country are dumb as **** , hell i barely trust our cops with guns, let along some of the people I know -_-
I've always been tempted too honestly, I mean, I'm going to costco tomoz, and that's like, a big thing, not something I often get to do (my ex room mate has membership XD) and I've heard about the wonderful food over there :3
eh, I'm rather fat, but I mean, I'm not 'waddle like a duck' fat, and yea we do kind of have a fair few fatties, mostly guys, though, not as many of the younger chicks are so fat.
I get how people get fat, like myself, but those people that end up unable to walk or leave the house? IDK man, thats just ridiculous.
I'm of the opinion that he only got voted in because Labour was pissfarting around with a spectacularly weak leadership who was being made prison bitch by eco-freak radicals with some dodgy ideas.x
and it has been the single worst decision we've made since the turn of the century.
I dont disagree, though i think its only the worst decision we made, because we didn't vote for labour, then that would have been XD.
better a kinda ****** PM than one who is almost as ****** , but also back stabbed their way into the seat without being voted for, I understand we are meant to vote for a party, but we dont, we vote for a person.
we went from a weak leadership with some dodgy ideas, to a strong leadership with a lot of dodgy ideas who promptly scrapped all the good ideas the last guys had... such as the NBN
heh yea that is true, though im luck enough to still be getting NBN by the end of the year, or early next, and in a non rural area too! the issue with the NBN was always how they have done it, both govs, as they ran it not like a business, as they should, and start it in the ctites.
hah yea, Im in Kallangur, QLD, they have NBN just across the road so its not hard for them to get it to us XD.
and think about it, they were starting it in really rural places where no one would use it, barely, so they aren't getting users paying for it. If they started it in the city, then they would have constant funding from the hundreds of thousands that would LOVE to use it constantly, meaning they could complete it easier and faster. But no, all the pandering to minorities (aka, Aboriginals and other such persons) lead to them ******* it up completely.
Because the generation we live in is a bunch of pansy ass idiots that think everyone should be a winner, and everyone should be given everything without working for it. And the ****** fems, plus goody two shoes welcoming boat people into our country...... ****** it all up man.
They disgust me so....Never been a worse time to be a straight white male, I'll tell you what. I'm a nice guy, and easy going generally, but **** , I hate these pacifist 'oh no, we can't turn away those people, lets let them into our country' cunts. I try not to be a racist, or anything, but **** , I dont want to go to a Cafe and get taken hostage.
All the idiots want our laws to change to be like their country, you know, the country which, under those laws, were so bad that they had to leave it....
I feel like they can live here if they want, but the second they try this **** , they're going straight back where they came from, gift-wrapped and addressed to the taliban.
I didn't actually vote; I drew a series of stick figures in racy positions and a few people in a put of **** and had an arrow pointing to it that said "if we let Abbott in"
Yea, but again, Gillard wasn't on the election sheet the last time either, she was in rudds party, and back stabbed him out of the PM seat, so we had a PM no one voted for running the country...seems like a good government, when they can't even trust the people in their own party.
That is, unfortunately, not how politics works. I mean, **** I think I could run this country better than them.
I'd be considered a racist, fascist, evil leader to a lot of the tards that want 'racial equality' and to 'help the poor people that ****** up their own country'. But I'll tell you what, I'd ******* fix a ton of **** up.
Jokes on you, I voted for him! cause better him than a blood nut sheila whom we didn't even vote for XD hes not a great PM, but hes not as bad as people claim
We're always pissed at our politicians until two or three elections later when someone "worse" comes along.
Abbott hasnt done anything particularly wrong, we just like to complain about our current leader.
Though there was that one time abbott just nodded and twitched at a reporter until it creeped them out enough to go away. youtube.com/watch?v=kXdcS_7CA1o
hel dude...the retards already tried suing the school for their own kids failings...if this was usa it would go past retarded lawsuits and go right to the potato parents going dindu nuffn and rioting / looting / burning the school
To a fault, a teacher has a responsibility. A child can only put so much effort and a teacher can only put so much effort.
The end result is the child learns. If the child doesn't learn it comes down to a few factors.
-The Teacher
-The Student
Few people are willing to point fingers at the student these days because "all kids deserve a prize and a gold star". While I do praise the school for basically saying, "Stop being ********* and raise your kids right", there is still the chance the teacher is at fault, not the student.
I was put into Special Ed with a bunch of other people so test scores wouldn't get affected and the school could get more funding. It wasn't until my 10th grade year when parents found out and did something and some teachers eventually got fired.
In some cases you are right it might be the teacher's fault but in this case 15-30 abcenses of the kids and them not doing homework. This two things can't be the fault of the teacher.
And sometimes its no one's fault but the school policy and when the school policy is ****** then everyone gets ****** .
education is made of the magic triangle of learning
it is represented by three forces:
-the teachers: without them knowledge wouldn't be passed unto the children
-the students: without them there would be no need for school
- the parents: the ones the children look up to, and will almost always do as they are told by them
srsly, one of the most important parts of learning is having your parents engaged in it. even if the parent did never finish school, the simple act of asking how school was, checking for homework, rewarding for good grades, shoulder to cry on difficult times, more and more.
if a parent is unwilling to participate in their child's education they might as well just give the kid for adoption, it literally means that they don't want the kid anyways
Ok, but if multiple people are calling and complaining about this, isn't that the equivalent of bad peer reviews, and in fact there may be a problem with the quality of education their child is receiving?
I mean i know theres bitchy parents, but this recording makes it seem like EVERYONE is bitchin.
Except that info that gets 'mailed' to me never gets to me, and the absences I report aren't being reported and are still being counted and left unexcused (what a load of **** that my family has to go to court because they lost my excuse, when I have video evidence of me turning it in and they lost it), and a teacher thinking that Italy was a member of the Allies and throwing my essay out isn't me lying.
Everybody needs to get off their high horse. The school is not infallible.
No, just stop. For the majority of the war they were axis. That's like saying Germany was apart of the allies since the axis was dissolved once the war ended. It's utterly stupid.
My school pulled similar BS because they couldn't get their **** straight and communicate normally.
One day my mom randomly revived a letter in the mail saying the school was going to report her to CPS for child neglect if she didn't send in proof that she took my brother in to get his eyes checked. We had those hearing and vision checks at school that somehow are supposed to be good indicators of your health even though it's administered by volunteer PTA moms. My brother didn't do so well on his vision test.
This was the first she'd heard of any of this. We had no idea why they just started off with making threats like that.
My mom called them up and started with full bitch mode. She doesn't take threats lightly especially when she is being accused of doing something wrong when she didn't. The school claimed that they had been sending messages in the mail for some time and we should have gotten them so their threat wasn't unreasonable.
Turns out they were sending notes home with my brother for 2 months and he was throwing them out because he didn't want glasses. He was in the third grade.
The amount of ******* that school system had over the years was obscene. How those people kept their jobs is beyond me.
Yea but there has to be SOMEBODY out there that's actually qualified to do the job, right? We can't just be stuck with people who bungle things as badly as my system did just because there's "nobody else out there" or is that literally the case?
People shouldn't get away with doing such a cruddy job just because it's mandatory for kids to attend school. Just like any other job, employees should be reprimanded if they screw up.
I know there are alternatives when it comes to the bus system since I had to go to a school board meeting in my Senior year of high school to deal with that. On the ride home one day the driver slammed on the brakes to the bus and stopped in the middle of the road (yes it was gravel but still). He stopped so suddenly that I slid under the seat in front of me up to my armpits. He got out of his seat, went back 5 rows of seats, picked up a first grader who was talking to friends, threw him back into the seat against the window/wall, and then went back to driving the bus. The kid didn't move for the rest of the 25 minute ride, he stayed where he landed. I honestly thought he was unconscious. He had bruises over an hour after he got home and his parents took pictures. His mom brought the pictures to the meeting and spoke to the police about it. I spoke in front of the school board because nothing was done to the driver for his actions. They said during the meeting that "We can't take any action right now because our contract is up for renewal with that company and we'd have to get one of their competitors to run buses for us if we upset the current company." The kid had bruises, the bus system was up for contract renewal, and rather than get a new company when the opportunity was ripe, they just stuck with those pricks. We had similar issues with teachers too. School being mandatory isn't an excuse to continue to employ ****** people.
In the rest of the US (normal areas) if a teacher is caught in some sort of scandal, abuse case, rigged grading, or anything of the like, they do get fired.
Office workers aren't as focused on in the media as teachers because they're not as hands on but if they mess this crap up, they should be fired just like anyone else. Pretty sure they do in normal cases but there's always those outliers that just make you scratch your head and wonder at the stupidity.
The outliers are the ones that make me wonder how they keep their jobs. In normal areas, they don't. Which means it has to be something like corruption or whatever that is behind it. I don't know the system well enough to know if it's that or simply a lack of parental voice about these things in certain areas.
Well yeah, I take that part as a given. Of course it's flawed. They gave me detention in 6th grade for being tardy 3 times in one year even though it was due to my bus getting suck in the snow each time. Zero tolerance rules rock, right?
I'm just saying that some areas are more flawed than others. I'm also saying I don't understand why it got as bad as it did and I don't understand how it stays that way.
It's not just the kids that have to deal with these issues, the parents do too. Eventually in such a large audience of these things, some parent has to stand up and start fighting back. Somebody should eventually be punished or fired for some of the horrendous screwups that happen. Yet in some areas, records for known poor employees are squeaky clean.
There has to be some sort of accountability out there somewhere...
Not sure how long ago that was but if it was in the US and recent, anytime after the 90s, you could practically get away with anything if your parent(s) bitch loud enough. Your parents should've bitched harder.
I feel as though if it has really become this much of a problem, the school is at least partly to blame, but instead they seem to want to throw everything back at the parents. I don't know the whole story, but logically, it doesn't make sense for so many kids to miss so many days of school and do so little of their homework that a message like this is warranted.
I'\m willing to bet their curriculum ******* sucks and their teachers are terrible. There's always a few bad apples in a bunch, kids that don't listen or refuse to do their work, and parents that come to their "little angel's" rescue. But this is more-so an irregularity than a rule. Again, I highly doubt the validity of this answering message, and if it hasn't happened already, they will likely have an competency investigation on their hands.
