Haden Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 And thats why you never doubt Ashleys ability to get a job. Congrats.
Dan_Dare Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Congrats Ashley! (btw you smell like ass face!)
Fierce_LiNk Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 (btw you smell like ass face!) Haha. Well done, Ash. Clearly you slept your way to the top (or the bottom, whatever) but credit given where credit is due. Well done. :p
Ashley Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Congrats Ashley! (btw you smell like ass face!) You'd know wouldn't you ass face? Thanks peeps And Mur; its disability support worker. Basically I go to lectures (with or without the student if they are capable (which I'm personally reading 'can be bothered to' )) and take notes, then type it up and send it off to the student. So its all the fun of lectures with none of the pressure of remembering anything Considering most of the people from my course failed or are retaking a year and/or semester I could end up in a class full of people I know.
Jimbob Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Congrats to the Ashmyster. Wish i had more luck getting work (should do really, if i put a tad more effort into it). Still, 3 months is nearly long enough i think.

Do you take like a dictaphone [Home Alone always made me want to have one] avec camera to film shit?
Dan_Dare Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 I'm actually getting the support Ashley will be delivering for my uni course. I'm getting my own Dictaphone but filming something would be a huge waste of time. (I'll also be getting slides and notes from lecturers)
Ashley Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 I think filming is rather unnecessary... I don't get a dictaphone but the student will, as it comes in the "got any kind of disability, big or small,? get this pack of goodies!"....pack.
Fierce_LiNk Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Well, I got a phone call the day before yesterday from Hayes Education, my teaching agency. The lady there had got me some work! I spent yesterday morning teaching World War 2, The Haka (!!!) and The Witch's Spell from Macbeth to Year 6 Pupils. The school was in Ystad Mynach, just past Caerphilly, took me about an hour on two trains to get to it. But, had a lovely time there. The headmistress told me that there is a job coming up soon and that I should go for eet. I rang my agency today and got told that the school liked me, wohoooo. I'm going to another school on Wednesday morning for some more supply work. Hopefully something will come up next week as well. I'm a supply teacher, baaaaby.
Fierce_LiNk Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 you need a beard, then. I will get a beard when my people are free.

I'm getting my own Dictaphone but filming something would be a huge waste of time. (I'll also be getting slides and notes from lecturers) Not to be rude or nosey, but are how are you able to have this? I didn't know you had a "disability" as such?
jayseven Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Dan's got gaids. Congrats ash and Flink! I am currently too tired to feel envious of your better pay, hours, and benefits.
Ashley Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 (edited) you need a beard, then. I thought teachers got beards during the holidays? I went for coffee with my teacher friend (/brother from another coloured mother) during the summer and he was sporting a holiday beard. Not to be rude or nosey, but are how are you able to have this? I didn't know you had a "disability" as such? I think Dan is dyslexic. The whole system (which I'm now part of :p) is stupid really. Any disability, from dyslexia to deafness is treated the same. Get a lump sum of money for "books", dictaphone (although I suppose deaf people don't get that...), a computer/laptop, printer and what not. Dan's got gaids. Congrats ash and Flink! I am currently too tired to feel envious of your better pay, hours, and benefits. I said today "I don't work weekends" which felt fucking great. I'm also looking forward to my month off at xmas Congrats Flink. Teach your little socks off! Edited September 25, 2009 by Ashley

Ashley Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 (edited) lol mother off! Its like a knockout tournament between mothers. I'm tired leave me alone :p I've also just noticed I typed "death people". Time for bed I think. Edited September 25, 2009 by Ashley

I still regret not claiming for my dyspraxia after seeing all the sweet shit and extra time in exams my mate with dyslexia got.
Raining_again Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 If I recall, Dan of the Dare has a lot more than just dyslexia. (not to say dyslexia is easy before flaming)
Haden Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 My mate defiantly just had dyslexia and to be fair he probably needed the extra time but the equipment was over the top imo. Dyspraxia is a bit different I don't know if any extra time would have helped me cause of the nature of it. I would have liked shiny things though. Congrats to Flinky btw I always had faith!
jayseven Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Yeah dan also has Gaids. Why are you people not listening to me?!
Dan_Dare Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 Not to be rude or nosey, but are how are you able to have this? I didn't know you had a "disability" as such? I have mild Cerebral Palsy. Nothing serious, mind, so hey ho! Dan's got gaids. . Common mistake, there. I think Dan is dyslexic. Dude, what? :p
Daft Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 Dyslexia, smishlexia. Life doesn't give you 25% extra time. Ambulance drivers don't get extra time. You may think that that's a harsh view. You'd be right.
Chris the great Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 i have dyspraxia, and i needed the extra time, dyspraxia is a co-ordination dissorder, the extra time simply helped me make my hand writting more readable, fair enough i say, as in real life im very rarly hand wrriting large ammounts of text against the clock for some one else to read.
Paj! Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 Yeah, but you may as well exploit what you can. People do that in life, even if it's not fair. Life isn't fair. I'll get extra time in written exams, and could probably claim I need extra time for deadlines on written work, as I have a mild, unusual dyslexic profile (shite at maths, good at English, which is rare for someone to be diagnosed with a dyslexic profile). I'm allowed to exploit that, so I will (If I feel the need to). (Plus in exams I genuinely needed the extra time)
