[quote author=Jovial_Abbott link=1603227594/18#18 date=1603257425]Do any of you idiots actually know a teacher? Know of the workload, know of the courses they do in the school holidays?
Doubt it.
Attacking teachers and tertiary education has just become part of the culture wars.
The Murdoch media have been campaigning against them for years now, especially when that Right Wing Western Values course was rejected.
I wouldn't take too much notice of Valkie or Aqua. They are just useful idiots for the Neo Conservatives
Teachers and the education system have one job to do.
Teach children how to read, write and do math.
Expand on that a little with life skills to ensure they survive an unforgiving world.
But they can't even get that right.
Who is at fault when after 12 years of being taught, the students are still functionally illiterate?
Be honest, teachers should get it right after 12 years surely.
Have any of you ever given a school leaver exact change so tgat you get a full note back.
I notice a few nasty old people do that. Seen them piddle around taking 5 minutes to pay at the register any number of times. The problem is they normally hand over the change after the clerk has already calculated the change from the initial note handed over, they do this because they know it will confuse the clerk who has to recalculate the change again. I bet you are one of these deliberately disruptive nasty old people who enjoys humiliating retail clerks.
Quote:For example.
The bill comes to $20.45
So you give them $50.00 and 50 cents. TO GET $30.00 change.
They are stuffed, can't work it out, sometimes they even call in their manager.
Only its $30.05 you get back, so you got that little bit of annoying change anyway, but meanwhile you have given the 20 normal people in the queue behind you the sh1ts and managed to fluster the clerk with the rapidly changing way you want to pay. Thats so you can feel smug and superior isnt it?
Im sorry that you feel that way.
Or at least sorry that your sock master feels that way.
I prefer to have to carry less change around, so I prefer to hand back some of the change to keep notes in my wallet.
After all, isnt that what change is for?
Or should I just continually collect more and more change?
I realise that you dont have any money, other than the dole.
So you dont have any idea about cash.
As for holding people up
If the kids could do basic addition and subtraction, it would be far quicker.
The fact that teachers cannot teach them simple math is the problem, not me wanting to keep change at a minimum.
Fool
You poll isnt doing real well.
Only the socks appear to be participating.
Isnt that a personal attack anyway?
Perhaps a month or two on the sidelines would do uyou some good.
