Naturally the persistent harrassment that I and his other classmates had, which infringed my right to carry out my job and their right to be taught, wasn't accepted by the parents to mitigate the situation.

For about 5 seconds.
One of my better decisions in life.
I should have stayed in radiography.
At least I get a decent pension!

I feel really sorry for the Year 12 students who will be missing out on their leaving activities after a terribly disrupted year. No schoolies week, no prom, no presentations, so sad for them at the end of their dozen years of education. What do they have to look forward to? High unemployment?
And being students they can take a gap year and do anything that
they want??
Donkeyman! 👍😇😇👍

Re: Infinite Lesson Disruption
There was an interview this morning on the radio with some year 12 students from Bulli High School. They talked about being the class graduating in 2020 and was quite revealing. Certainly they had such a disrupted year and were really sad that their graduation was going to be such a truncated event with their parents only being able to watch it streamed on the Internet. There was mixed feelings about not having their school formals.Instead of the mass gatherings on the Gold Coast for Schoolies Week (the border is shut) they were going in small groups camping in the bush or coastal towns in NSW.
The one thing that came across was how resilient they were. No worries about this generation but they will need that resilience facing the short to medium term future.

We cannot deny our kids an education to protect us Oldies.
Absolutely Bloody Useless at Arts.
I am in utter awe of so many on here who are so, so, good at it.
People are different.
I can do Complex Maths in my head.
I am the ultimate boring Scientist.
So what?
It does not make me better than others.
Nobody has ever viewed my research and calculations and been in awe of them.
Many have been in awe of a painting, myself included.
That is a true talent, mine is just boring logic.
