    A combination of the re-assignment, new hours, 30 extra miles of commute and the universe thinking my ass is a parking spot for its dick, I've been fairly absent from both side of this forum. I hope that will change soon. (this has been cross-posted to the other side)

    I hope the "him" in the location is papa_dog, and not a hint at Xiao's "real gender".

    Aren't you a schoolteacher?

    You go on this forum from within the confines of an educational building?

    Yes, that's pretty much how it works.

    I do the same, even thou I'm teaching computer science and I only have 5 students at the moment, so it is not so hard to check the forums every now and then.

    Small classes is teh shit. Gives you ample time to check on how everybody's doing and give loads of feedback.

    Yeah, it's really funny. Sometimes I don't even plan anything until 1 hour before the class start. I am supposed to teach with a guy from Myanmar, but unfortunately he doesn't say so much.

    Do what I did, switch to relief work. Despite being 17 at the time I ended up teaching computer science, eventually they found a 'qualified' teacher that knew jack shit (been programming since I was around 12, built my own PC at 7/8 - fucking 486's.) but might have actually cared about the students. I didn't mind so much, relief work means you get to spend several hours fucking about on the internet without constraint. Just don't do what several other teachers at my high school did and get caught looking at porn during class time.

    Well that's healthy advice for anyone in a position to lose something.
    The last thing we need are more horny teachers flogging molly in the computer lab. Not to say it's an epidemic, but we really don't need them.

    Tasmania: Where the teacher shortage is so large, that the kids are put in charge of the class.

    That's what I used to do. The benefit of working grave shift in an office environment and working by myself.

    Now I’m 15 miles further down the road (60 mile round trip) and working at a data center. I am no longer working by myself and am working 2 days shifts followed by 3 swing. My forays on the webs for non-official-business could be few and far between compared to before.

    Well, naturally they still had to have teacher there by law but as they were practically clueless I ended up teaching most of the kids anyway.

    But for the most part, yes, you're right.

    Did the other kids used to beat you up for ruining the part class?

    Of course not, most of them came to revere me as their god afterall. Even if they didn't it was computer science; all the students were weak-bodied insipid fools and could barely lift their hand up to the keyboard let alone against me.

    Honestly, grakelin. Just because I was completely drunk the first time doesn't make it all bullshit.
