Oppo Camp Joe Richards (Traded to Port Adel. 2024)

[Timmy from Thomastown]

This time next week he will be a "School Principal."
If he plays one decent game he will be "well known educator" Joe Richards.

If he gets in any trouble off field he will be a “ colourful teaching identity”

 

[Copeland]

Oh FFS, he's a teachers aide!!

Why get hung up on that? He helps teach our kids, no need to get triggered mate

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Joe Richards will soon be Super Nintendo Chalmers.

There is a big difference between a teacher and an aid. Let's call a spade a spade, not an excavator.

Aide. As long as we're calling spades spades we may as well spell it right

We live and learn! 30 years of English teaching obviously wasted.

I was a Teachers aide for 6 years.
Helping kids with special needs.
Best job ever. 12 weeks paid leave every year and really rewarding working with them.

Even teachers need help

I reckon my spelling has deteriorated with age. I become very aware of it when confronting the squiggly lines when typing and texting. I also appreciate my newly acquired inadequacies being highlighted before hitting the post or send button.

I always wished I had trained as a special education teacher. Preparing work for 5 classes was an arduous task. I envied the specialist teachers and aides who were in the room on a one on basis. But I got into student welfare which got me out of the classroom.

Awesome TGG. Yes the teachers work was much harder. Working most nights, preparing, homework correction.
I used to help the teachers with all that stuff during the day or coming in early mornings. To make their life a little easier.

I also did all the first aid which kept me really busy.
The kids with special needs are integrated into normal primary schools nowadays.
Around 30 of them in a school of around 300.
Pascoe Vale North Primary.

Many of the teachers from there are still my friends.

Well, I can only claim 21. But I value the contribution of a quality aide. Then there are certain others who I'd prefer weren't in the room

These days we plan collaboratively, so that by the time you need the work, someone has created it, about 1/6 of the time it needs to have been you (full disclosure for me it is 1/2 to 1/3 of the time). Also sometimes the work kinda sucks and you need to fly on the seat of your pants another percentage of the time. Still, I haven't had to prepare individually for five classes for a long time

We should all get aides.

When I taught in a country school, we had an aide of whom my old HOD rather unkindly but all too accurately said: 'I didn't know you had to have special needs in order to be a special needs aide?!"

You're lucky. We didn't even know how to spell collaboration, let alone what it meant.

Sorry, my post wasn’t in reference to your spelling.

As long as we're calling spades spades, we may as well spell it correctly. Let's get it right.
