I grew up in baralaba, the nearest city to me was 4 hours away and still had few jobs.

I’m not familiar with that if I’m being fair. Is that an area in America?

If not, I really think we’re just talking past each other at this point. I grew up in NY.

In my opinion, gotta live there rather than trust any media, so not educated enough to speak from a perspective anywhere but America and Capitalism for myself. Still doesn’t negate that things like socialism have ruined entire countries like Venezuela - media or not that one is apparent.

Australia but think regional colorado, i have been all over the states.

Employers need to learn how to pay employees, simple as that. Prior to COVID we had two decades of wage stagnation while cost of living rose. Labor is a resource goverened by supply and demand always.

why would a striking teacher hand over their lesson planned curriculum?



35k with a healthcare plan that costs up to 10k to fund privately. with retirement benefits the same, and 3 months a year off. plus massive holiday slots off. not a bad gig all in all.



not overpaid, well compensated. and she agrees. if she went back for a masters she'd get even more, and she gets raises year over year. starting pay was underwhelming, now shes making like 5k more after being in the district a while.

Perhaps the garbage Americans think your pay, benefits, or culture blow at your firm? Many found out how hard doing an LLC was last year hahaha. Some international candidates are so desperate they sell their soul for a visa.

stupid foreigners, u can get a prepaid visa at like any gas station.

Understood - but, I would have to slightly push back and say visiting isn't the same as living permanently.

I don't know Australian law, but is it not allowed to move to a new location if you can't find opportunities where you are? You're keeping a roof over your head now it seems, so why wouldn't that be possible in a different location closer to better jobs?

Also - lastly, what are your true, honest beliefs? I don't think we've ever delved into that in any detail. It seems we can deduce you don't like Capitalism (as is your right of freedom of expression), but then it begs the question what you think is ideal in full (and a universal income isn't the answer - especially in America - we've seen the result even when we expand Welfare / Unemployment - add exponents now with an unlimited, never-ending cash flow earned or not)? The disabled also get a universal base income as well, which I agree with, as social safety nets have their place in such cases as these where someone is unable to work/contribute due to no fault of their own. Same with the retired.

I'll prob have to get back to you later when you respond so I am not ignoring ya - just gotta get back to work.

Ideally you would say that when a teacher begins the school year they have to submit their cirriculum for review by the other teachers, and that puts it in the hands of the school. You can develop your cirriculum and keep it your own personal property, until it starts getting presented to the students at which point the school has to have posession and partial ownership to vet it.

the logistics of storage, let alone having other teachers review all of the material isnt feasible. additionally depending on the level your curriculum must remain elastic to meet the needs of that specific class.

the idea of scab teachers to replace strike teachers being bussed into a district by a competing union is honestly something i'd expect Cam to say lol. its honestly not at all realistic.

when teachers get into trouble and have curriculum reviews they're a massive issue and time consuming as hell, doing it to all teachers would require many more employees. and it brings in the issue of teachers not being able to cover common core standards already in a given year.
