| Things that should be illegal |
Things that should be illegal:
- 3 hour tutorials
- textbooks priced over $20
- chairs with no backs (make for terrible posture)
- about 75% of people at uni (there's just far too many of them)
- temperatures over 26 degrees
- people sitting next to me in class
- dirty dishes
- room mates who eat your yogurt
- supermarkets who don't stock your yogurt
- Dancing with the Stars
- speed bumps
- vending machines which steal your money
- burning hot coffee
- 2000 word french essays
- printers that print 21 blank pages, yet still charge you for it
- annoying girls who think they know everything about teaching strategies and pedagogy, but are really just ugly with pockmarks and dirty hair
Can you tell I had a crap day? |

That whole tutorial thing never settled with me. It seemed like an extra class for no reason... Wasn't the lecture good enough? I mean, if the professor is as good as their supposed to be, a tutorial isn't necessary... or I'm just too used to the American system (which, alas, has its own flaws... like the year of general ed. they try and wrestle out of you).
I heartily agree with you on textbooks... almost as big a racket as tuition increases :)

I could have written that myself :)
the textbooks thing shits me too!! I just paid $240 for 2 books - WTF!
Am I sad because I'm excited about my course??

Sounds like a first day back at uni to me :)
Pedagogy, the number one reason I love early childhood compared to Primary is that they don't have to use pedagogy in EVERY. SINGLE. SENTENCE.
I have a 3 hour tute, a drama tute no less, at 8am on Monday morning, I understand you completely

Oh I am sorry to do this to you...but the even sadder thing is those greasy haired girls end up becoming your Head of department, Deputy or Principal. They just keep morphing into an assortment of education wankers who reinvent the wheel each year.
You spend your life wondering how they even got through the interview process with such an astounding lack of personal skills...yeah- I'm a teacher . Yeah- I am a bit bitter and twisted :-) but So glad I am not one of them,
cheers
