Today, like many other West Australian teachers, I'm not going to work this morning.

It's interesting that our industrial action is represented in the media as about pay. We're not striking over salary - we're striking because the system is broken.

My son has had no Phys Ed teacher all year. He's had a procession of relief teachers which, for a special needs child, is extremely distressing. He attends an inner city public school, but staffing shortages are statewide.

Speaking of special needs students, I'd like to look after my own without having to skip lunch to ensure their needs are met.

I'd like the Education Department to give me a personal device so I can do my job
(more efficiently). If I want a laptop, I have to lease one.

I'd like an acknowledgement of how teaching has recently become more difficult and demanding, especially during #COVID19, when we kept schools open and tried to keep students safe.

I enforced the mask mandate far more often than a rank-and-file police officer. I've probably been threatened and assaulted more times than many police officers too. And the statewide mobile phone ban? Guess who enforces that every single day.

So many of my colleagues have left teaching: re-trained or resigned due to burnout and stress. Who suffers? The students.

It's not about the pay. We're tired, and we need support. We're underfunded and under-resourced. We need to improve conditions for students. We need to fix the system.

City council are due to replace my wheelie bin today. It has a large crack on the side.

The bin has a date stamp on the lid: 1989. It's had a good run - anyone got a wheelie bin older than my outgoing Taylor Swift-era one?

Our downstairs neighbours are moving out. Nice couple, early 30s, cat and dog, working/studying.

They're moving in with one of their parents because they can't find a rental.

They have to move because the owner is being forced out of their share house.

If this isn't our housing crisis in miniature I don't know what is.

Pretty crazy that in 2024 you can get a key cut without photo ID, proof of identity, proof of residence, signature, or details being recorded.

neenish_tart,
@neenish_tart@aus.social avatar

@nathanaelcbr @luciedigitalni Yes, I see the inconsistency... Come to think of it, you could hand all that information over and it still wouldn't prove the keys were yours to cut or even what car/house/whatever they unlock, so maybe this is why they don't ask

    @Melissabeartrix @kauer It was SO traumatic, we were young and it was like, Muuuuuum, what's wrong with the Easter eggs??! Of course we were raised on white bread and Coca-Cola so it was a huge shock to the system ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿž๐Ÿซ—

    @grissallia I wonder if Australian Consumer Laws protect Aussie gamers in a situation like this. Could we reasonably expect a game to run after 10 years? If so, get them!
