People with office jobs who didn’t want an office job, how did you get to where you are? I am an ADHDer (and yes I know I can’t use it as an excuse) who wants to get into teaching but I’m being discouraged by basically everyone and I also want to consider my options. But I don’t see myself sitting at a desk for ages at a time.
Also, second question incoming. I saw some people on the beach today hitting a ball back and forth with bats that looked like cricket bats but the top of the bat was shaped like a lacrosse one. So imagine a cricket bat with a lacrosse shaped head. Does anyone know what this kind of bat is? Just a special cricket bat?
I’m already tutoring whilst working in retail and am sacrificing doing bigger retail shifts on the days that I tutor. I also volunteered on an online educational forum for about five years helping kids with questions relating to VCE and science.
That’s really good. I only suggested it because my daughter found someone online to help her through VCE maths methods this year. I didn’t know it was a thing until she told me.
You’re a smart cookie. You will find what you’re looking for. I know it!
I think that’s called “Jai Alai” in America, pelota elsewhere. Sort of a hand held bat with a basketlike scoop arrangement on the top. Like a woomera but for a ball. Very fast and quite dangerous game due to the sheer speed of the ball. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jai_alai

Teaching is a calling. For the amount of work you do, and the amount of shit you have to deal with, it doesn’t pay well. Good teachers do it because it’s honestly what they want to do. Don’t pick teaching if you are unsure what you want to do.
That said, you can do a world of good in hundreds of kids’ lives if you can get past the challenges of ADHD and teach. You can serve as a wonderful example for kids on the spectrum, and help them as they try to navigate a world that isn’t designed with them in mind. You can advocate for these kids and really help their parents understand how to relate to them.
