We’ll give him a good funeral

With a brother anticipating becoming homeless I had sent an email to an appropriate member of the Western Australian Government and put it on his Facebook without response when I sent this email to Wesfarmers with whom I had a complaint that you can see elsewhere in my books.

 

“We’ll give him a good funeral.”

An email to the Western Australian minister for housing.

This was the response from two devout Christians with respect to their brother and uncle who is completely disabled and becoming homeless on January 9^th and planning to commit suicide as a result.

The suicide risk has not been a good Christian but has never purported to be one.

The other two have.

Church every Sunday.

Roles in their Church group.

What is God thinking that this is acceptable behaviour?

Are you listening God?

You are supposed to hear all.

You really condone this behaviour?

What about getting the Western Australian Government to assist this helpless individual God, rather than just telling him he is a hopeless case and telling him to go away.

So his rellies will not help him.

The Western Australian Government will not help him.

Perhaps Wesfarmers can help.

They gave two million to Albo for his racist referendum.

A million recompense to me for having taken my home away thirty years ago because of the actions of one of their employees would provide a home for the poor bastard and his cat.

A teaching career in brief

 

Chapters

1. My life in brief. Boils down to why I think I have any knowledge to impart to budding teachers. Emphasise being particularly bad at it initially so How I overcame ineptness is relevant to tyro teachers.

2. Skills now versus skills old. Using internet now versus no help at all in my initial year.

Danger I was with HF whereas today if he could buy it a teacher would have seen the enormous danger it represents online.

Knew HF etched glass so put wax on glass prisms to mark them MBHS and then put acid with a brush on etched wax. Hence breathed in fumes. Glenn Scherell and Alan Thomas as well as me would have been affected. I suffered on Friday afternoons going down to the pub after school and finding enormous pain in my side after a couple of drinks. Did not realise until years later that the HF was damaging my kidneys.

Need a list of all these.

Solar eclipse over Denmark and not being able to get much information. Taking a truck load of students down there but not knowing what was possible with an eclipse except what not to do so they did not get as much benefit as they might have.

3. The dangers of becoming a teacher. Story of Natalie getting rid of my career. Grateful at first. Story of Bob Cross persecution.

Symptoms of stress with nurse who then disappeared.

Malcolm Crosbie report. Effect it had recently when I reread my response and had to go to hospital because blood pressure was 196.

ASHS. Lying daughter of politician who claimed I had hit her while on duty.

Kuwait and the completely out of control students. Test with no talking but they did and got zero. Told to leave. Classroom not a science room and as far from the equipment as was possible. Classroom with no lock/key, projector not working, had to find computer chap on my own. Other schools worse according to the computer teacher. Mainly South African teachers.

Security chap at BIS and girl who claimed money taken because he insisted she did not spread her stuff over 3 lockers. David believed her.

Making books at ASHS and Max McDonald not having a clue about it.

Money from making books was good for ASHS but meant I would not repeat work at SFSHS because Ron Turner was obviously out for Ron and not the school. He had not paid for a small TV he had taken home that had been used as a computer screen the year before.

Teaching computing in 1985 at Melville SHS where they used Commodore 64s and not having any exercises left by the previous teacher. Describe my method of teaching computing and consequently needing a computer at home. Bought one for me with a printer, floppy disc drive, modem, all for around $2,200 which was a lot in those days. Look up wages in 1985. School refused to help. ($24,187 from spreadsheet 1985_wages_tabn075)

4. Experience as in charge of the Adult Education Centre at Mount Barker.

Sue McLeod and the home help at the Reserve. Going there with her and Rotary working on a building while the residents all sat around watching, not being invited to participate.

Arthur Braden from next door who worked at the abattoir cutting up sides of different types of animals.

Photography class.

What other classes?

The Head of the primary school and the class with the aboriginals and others from the prison. Numeracy and literacy.

5. My year as Deputy

Enter my office and be caned. Solved the problem of new teachers with classroom discipline. Jim Krakouer crying first time and then not holding out hand second time. 2Two students caned for running on verandah outside science room Tom Spencer decrying the action and then having two ribs broken by a student running on the verandah.

Making a new timetable each term I.E.3x with the difficulty of Options meaning needed their numbers to make timetable.

Not caning student from Hazel Greenslade.

Stress of last minute changes.

First Year a Canadian liar

Second year an Australian who was not very bright. Ukrainian wife to be. 70 countries but did not note that Korea had an alphabet.

You only have one life.

 

About 78 years of it if you are male.

To spend it all in one location is to my mind boring.

To not experience a variety of cultures and lifestyles is to waste your time on Earth.

I have lived in Australia for over 50 years. The first 49 were without leaving the country. I was married to a woman who had to live near her parents. It meant not being able to live on the farm I had bought at Denmark in Western Australia. You have no idea how much I loved that farm. It had views over the ocean. It was eighty acres. It was going to be sub dividable eventually. My depression when she said she would not live on it lasted for years.

She had a doctorate in rejection. Her next biggie was not wanting to buy the old apartment building across the road from the beach in Redcliffe, Queensland. It was on a huge block. We had put a deposit on it and were going to buy it with the farm money as I was not returning to WA. Hey presto. Next trick. It meant returning to Western Australia from Queensland and being depressed for three years.

When I was working eighty four hours a week working two jobs she was doing the banking. Not such a good idea. I later realised it had been one for the business, one for wifey. She left. That was OK but she took two of the children. They were the only reason I was back in WA.

A set of lies by another female then had me on a different track and I went to Singapore and then Malaysia and Thailand looking for business opportunities.

I did not find any but the difference from the Australian nanny state syndrome and the expectation of being responsible for your own actions evidenced in those countries was refreshing.

Subsequently I have lived in Thailand, South Korea, Nigeria and China.

Depression

Depression was a big factor in my life after various setbacks. When I found that my eyesight required glasses it put me in a state of depression for months which was bad timing as it corresponded with the preparation time for the Leaving exam at the end of Year 12.

I cannot remember anything about my state of mind when the Education Department refused to send me to UWA which had accepted me but insisted I spend three years doing a new course they were setting up through Perth Technical College. Based on the thoughts I have had about that time I guess I was considerably depressed.

Being married to my first wife would have resulted in frequent bouts of depression because of her conduct as a proper bitch, but she excelled herself on three occasions.

The first was when she said she would not live on the farm at Denmark. I had wanted to have a farm forever. I now had a farm that looked out over the ocean.

I spent a year designing the house we could get built on the eighty acres. Then just before Christmas in 1973 she let me know she would not live there. Devastation.

The second occasion was also related to real estate. I had sold the farm with the plan of starting a business so I could stop teaching. I cannot recommend teaching as a life’s work. After looking at many options in Queensland we eventually put a deposit on a large block of land across the road from the beach at Redcliffe, on the north side of Brisbane. It had an old apartment building on it which needed work but which provided an income. The block was large enough to have an eight storey block of apartments on it. And it looked out over the ocean. Then she pointed out she was returning to Western Australia with the children. I did not mind if she went but I wanted to be with the children. It turned out she had organised a job for me to start when we got there. I bought a furniture truck so I could take all my rocks and everything else and we drove back west where I was then in a state of depression for three years.

Her third effort at upsetting my equilibrium was when she refused to do anything about my social life when I was working eighty four hours a week teaching and doing a milkround. The result of this was my starting a relationship with an ex-student who kept coming back to the school after she had finished her final exams.

Actually there is a fourth significant occasion. This was when she left. Actually I told the children at the end of the day when we were preparing dinner without their mother that we could get through this and the younger two floored me by telling me they were joining her on the next day. That resulted in serious depression when they went. I never could understand why the children did not show some support for the parent who had worked his guts out to make them a better life by working two jobs.
