“I just feel like grabbing the back of their heads and bashing their foreheads against the blackboard,” she said.

Orla O’Cairn teachers Year 4 at South Betoota Public School and she’s “had it up to her fucking eyeballs” with Scott Morrison and the Queensland Government.
She tells The Advocate that “those useless fuckwits” keep contradicting each other on schools and when they do come to an agreement on something, it’s “fucking wrong”.
“I mean, why not ask a fucking teacher about schools going back?” she said.
“Why not talk to the fucking union? I mean, spare me. How hard is it? He’s got Greg fucking Combet up in the bridge steering the economy through his absolute shit storm, why not put a teacher up there to help him navigate the education sector? Who’s that wet noodle education minister? He should just stop talking,”
“Sorry for venting at you, it’s just doing my head in.”
The Advocate reached out to the Federal Government for comment on the matter and that wet noodle’s office replied saying they were planning to get teachers on board in the future.
“It’s something we’re actively considering,” they said.
“You could say we’re toying with the idea, yes. That’s accurate.”
More to come.
