That’s how you keep getting these hot female teachers boning adolescent teenage boys. Where the fuck were these skanks when I was growing up ?!?! I wouldn’t have ratted her out.

[CivicBlues]

We had a hot young blonde student teacher when I was in Grade 7. I don't think anything happened with any of the male students but we were all drooling over her. Someone even wrote a fan fiction short story erotica with the main character being a thinly veiled allusion to her real name. It was the 90s lol

Well how old do you think a teacher would be, shortly after getting their BEd degree?

The story I heard is that these days, nobody wants to be a full time teacher teaching at a designated school unless they are really passionate about teaching because the pay structure between on-call substitues and full time teacher have been made to be the same now. So if you are qualified to teach, why would you want to lock yourself in with a full time schedule + all the prep work for being a full time teacher, and you can just work as a sub without doing any of those prep work, while still earning the same pay? There is no shortage of substitute work, so you can pretty much end up having a full time work schedule anyway while avoiding the responsibility to prep, as well as having the flexibility to not work if you don't feel like it.

Apparently there is also a massive deficit of school counsellors bcos BCTF did the dumba$$ thing to hike the qualifications requirements for someone to become a new counsellor. I forgot exactly what the new qualifications are, but I seem to think it needs to be some sort of counselling masters degree. But when someone did the work to get that counselling masters degree, they can run their own private counselling practice and earn far more than what a teacher would make.

Bra.. by far the worst part of being a teacher now is that every kid is an idiot.

Every teacher I know the #1 complaint is the students. It’s worse the older you teach obviously.

Ahh.. what’s wrong my autistic little superstar isn’t disruptive!

Fuck I drove by St.Georges the other day it looks crazier and more modern than most buildings at UBC lol

You're lucky if the parents decided to get them assessed. There's a significant portion of the school population that aren't diagnosed. And since they aren't, the school doesn't get the extra funding for support aides.

Logically, I know they'd be around 23-25. It's just weird to think about when most people at 23 are just figuring it out and most haven't even grown to have the maturity to be a good human being.

I remember my HS biz teacher said the education is usually on a 5-10 year pendulum, once in awhile it swings too far (rn) and it'll swing back.

Who do I vote for to fix this bullshit? Wtf are kids doing with iPads instead of duotangs and binders.

I know teachers that are doing coke Fri-Sat, sometimes Weds

Kinda shocked that you can be a HS teacher by 24/25.

I sometimes see the kids being dumb on close friends on IG. Parents proceed to berate the teacher for their kids stupid / bad behaviour!

I'm a teacher on the weekends for Chinese school at a school district in Toronto.

Kids are tough to deal with now. NO one does their homework. I am lucky they are grade 5 and 6; without cell phones is ok but I can see some kids just don't give an F.

1) Kids don't know what manners are
2) They don't do homework and don't care
3) They are so messy.
4) I am dealing with a kid who needs special attention whcih I'm lucky I have dealt / learned how to handle these situations.

I'm only a class of 21 kids and don't even get me started for homework, marking and curriculum.

I don't do it for the money. I also have to come up with my own material which does make it harder.

there is also pension which is nothing cause I'm only a Sat teacher. But teachers can retire in their late 50s and earn good salary for life.

[Gerbs]

Do you think because parents are too busy working + longer commutes?

^
Doesn't seem like an excuse because we grew up with immigrant parents it went okay. Not optimal but turned out decently mannered, did homework and cleaned.

Hey guys,

A buddy of mine was working on my dads old BMW (2004), he did the following for him:
valve covers, oil filter housing, oil pipe, and oil change and coolant flush.

He's only charging my dad for the parts. I think my dad said something like $300 for the parts.

He doesn't want anything for his time. I don't know exactly how many hours but he did it over the weekend and came in multiple trips, so it was a number of hours. He was in my dads garage, so no hoist, tight space, cold, didn't have all his usual tools, etc.

What would a service like that charge typically? Can anyone ball park that for us. We want to pay him fairly but have no idea what the cost of something like this would be, he's being super nice/annoying and doesn't want to give us a price.

Thanks.

[BIC_BAWS]

That sounds like an E46. Look in my pick a car thread, I had ofhg replaced at a shop. You can use that for reference

Usually at the (new car) dealerships nowadays, the total labour costs tend to be a bit more than the total costs of parts. So if your dad's repairs needed around $300 for parts, I figure something in the $200 - $300 range would be an appropriate amount to pay your friend.

[Eff-1]

Fair market rate is probably $150/hr x how many hours he did.

So if you gave him $100/hr even, that's a good deal for him and you.

If you wanna take a wild guess, based on travel time, multiple days, tight space, I'd pay him $500. $400 if you want more of a discount.

[PeanutButter]

Thanks for the replies everyone. I think we'll go with $500 for labour, that still seems like a good deal for us. I feel like an actual shop would be way more.

[Badhobz]

500 seems low but that’s just me. I’d give him 800 bucks or 700 so you’re out of pocket 1k in total. Still a great deal. My valve cover gasket on the 128 at dealership was 1700 for just that job alone. They billed like 3h of labor.

If he’s a shady tree mechanic his repairs might be botched anyways so I guess don’t give him any money until you get the car back hahah

[donk.]

Whats up with people and videogame cases?

Im selling some switch games, and every person asks "does it come with the case?" then proceeds to not buy it because there is no case. These aint CDs.....

No, no i do not keep extra garbage around my house, reminds me when i go through peoples houses to do work, and i see 20$ ricecooker boxes, shoe boxes, old broken bins scattered in random places

If only people knew they could store their games in their switch case

[GLOW]

some people collect them and collect the covers for 'art'.

gaming collectors like to flex by showing a pic of all their games with cases on display, either face up, stacks, or like an encyclopedia set on shelves.

i've preferred cases in the past, but if the price is right or a rare game i've taken the game as-is.

recently i've bargain binned xbox games and just have the disc in a white cd envelope

He used to work at the BMW store. So he definitely knows what he's doing.

Ok, that's what I was thinking. it would be thousands for the job. Thanks I'll do the G note. hopefully he accepts it.

On a BMW of that era:

Valve cover replacement is at least 2-3 hours. (done it myself several times)
Oil filter housing gasket is about 3-4 hours. (this is a big job and requires removing the alternator, belts, and clean up.)
Oil change and coolant changes are at least 1 hour.

Dealer rates are in the $180-200/hour range these days.

You're looking at an upwards of potentially $2K in labour at a dealer.

This stupid guy won't even take the money. He's so annoying. I'll have to give it to his wife or something.

I even told him we're both winning. My dad is saving over $1,000 easily and he makes some well deserved cash. And I know he needs the money too.

He does this all the time. Whenever he works on someones car he never charges them labor, and I feel like some people take advantage of his kindness.

[punkwax]

What does he like? Need any tools? Buy him something he’d like or is useful and don’t give him a gift receipt.

Problem solved.

you could also just get him a costco or superstore GC. if nothing he can use it for groceries which he needs, and the $ saved from groceries is like $ in his pocket.

you give $ to his wife and risk she buys jewelry

[Hakkaboy]

or heck, a gas card? Assuming he doesn't drive an EV
