15yo: Oh, Mum. You can’t use full stops in posts. You’re going to get bullied. When did full stops become daggy?

18yo concurs. Says full stops are patronising and aggressive. This child of mine is studying to be an English teacher.

My 18yo (in charge of 50 kids at OSHC) and 14yo (in charge of choreographing 40 kids) have just been comparing notes and have informed me that they ‘can’t think of anything easier’ than being a parent of two kids. Lol.

Does anyone know why it costs thousands of dollars more ($7500) to study to be a high school English/History teacher than an English/Religion teacher?

Also significantly cheaper to become an English/HPE teacher than a history teacher. What's the issue with teaching history? Seems kind of important these days...

"I usually go to IGA, get some cookies, iced coffee and go to the park, consume it and then I go to the flower shop and have a coffee there on the footpath. And when that's done I go to McDonald's and get chips and coke and then I go shopping at Woolies" abc.net.au/news/2025-04-23/w…

I absolutely love this story - and it illustrates the importance of rural and regional journalism. These perspectives aren't told without boots on the ground.

It also reminds me of childhood trips to the 'big smoke' of Roma!

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have deeply, deeply misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

If you don’t watch test cricket 🏏 because it’s ‘boring’, turn on the tv now and check out Sam Konstas’ debut!

Is the two day wait between external exam results and ATAR designed to be torturous?

One of these athletes was born in Africa and immigrated to Australia as a child. The other was born and raised in Australia. But one is no more or less Australian than the other.

17yo just finished his second last external exam. "I'm looking forward to finishing school," he says. "I've never played video games all day before".

Me: Can you go to the shops and get some chicken stock? 14yo: Also, can you get some emotional support chocolate? Husband:

It’s my 30 year high school reunion on Saturday. I’m helping organise it, and we have more than 70 attending, from across the country/world. I am so proud of the high quality state school education I received. It set me up academically and socially. Harristown High forever ❤️

In other words, what’s good bang for buck in terms of calories?
