@PhysicsHawk @greg_ashman @tombennett71 Wellbeing is not an extra thing to teach. It’s an essential prerequisite to learning actually taking place. Try learning something new when you’re not in a good space emotionally even as an adult.

@DrDemography @BlairWilliams26 In Vic schools, kids with medical issues get exemptions for devices as needed.

[Marie Clark @DrMrsClark]

@DrDemography This works well in Victoria and has for years now. Students are playing games at lunch, interacting with each other. Less distractions in learning time. As a teacher it’s a dream not a nightmare..

[Marie Clark @DrMrsClark]

@aliceleung I disagree. I know many who would not be the excellent teachers they are now without the Dip.Ed. Grads have already completed a 3yr bachelor. One year to get the teaching qual should be plenty then support on job. Yes we also need to improve pay/conditions to increase retention.

[Marie Clark @DrMrsClark]

@Anncaro11 This deal is making conditions worse for teachers as principals are now counting the minutes staff are on site to find extra places to acquit TIL, eg. leaving early on last day of term is now an hour aquitted for those who have accrued TIL. Funding needed!

@MediaOneAus @landry235 @milaola1 @DrShaneRRR @AEUVictoria Uh…cos they pass it on to people who might get sick and die. Like the 98 who died today in Australia.

DET talks a good talk re Covid. Reality is we don’t have enough RATs for a single year level let alone staff. We have to pick which rooms to put HEPA purifiers in. 17 staff in 1office today, 1window can open, no RATs. Kids back Monday. No RATs. @DrShaneRRR @JaneCaro @AEUVictoria

@DrShaneRRR @JaneCaro @AEUVictoria What a great idea 😂

[Marie Clark @DrMrsClark]

@FishyKES @JaneCaro @DrShaneRRR @AEUVictoria I’m regional / rural also…seems some schools in our area have enough and some don’t.

[Marie Clark @DrMrsClark]

Not a safe workplace. Not a safe place for kids.

[Marie Clark @DrMrsClark]

@DrShaneRRR Our school has not received even enough RATs for one year level, and an inadequate number of HEPA air filtration units

@cmuuu Although he looks rather sheepish here

@cmuuu We get fursuitboy shaved annually - he gets very frisky afterwards

Are schools for kids? Or so adults can go to work? My latest in @TheBigSmokeAU https://t.co/UaIrK0BXKa

[Marie Clark @DrMrsClark]

@JaneCaro @TheBigSmokeAU Yep - we think alike .. https://t.co/gum6I2HPMU

@noplaceforsheep No excuse to not know when it is your job to know. We all saw what was coming. If he didn’t see it, he’s incompetent. If he did, he’s a liar. Awesome choice for our country’s leader
