So, you're actually ok with the fact that your teachers are just telling you any random, totally useless, trivial thing and trying to pass it off as the truth? Do you think that's the way that education should be? |

When did I say that? Anyway, from the responses I'm getting it seems she was kind of right. Tea is dinner and around 7 means after 7. She wasn't way off, just the fact that she gave specific foods was odd.
She's not a very smart teacher anyway, it seems half the time she's more concerned with her dog than about actually teaching. |

| quote: | The Northern Territory National Emergency Response (also referred to as "the intervention") is a package of changes to welfare provision, law enforcement, land tenure and other measures, introduced by the Australian federal government under John Howard in 2007, nominally to address claims of rampant child sexual abuse and neglect in Northern Territory Aboriginal communities. Operation Outreach, the intervention's main logistical operation conducted by a force of 600 soldiers and detachments from the ADF (including NORFORCE) concluded on 21 October 2008.[1]
The package was the Federal government's response to the Territory government's publication of Little Children are Sacred, but implemented only two out of ninety-seven of the report's recommendations. The response has been criticised, but also received bipartisan parliamentary support. The current Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has and continues to support the response, though he did make some adjustments to its implementation. |
Thought I was joking right? |

So in my sociology class we were talking about cultural differences as far as socializing and stuff. We had a little thing where we were given a scenario- 'In Melbourne, Australia you are asked by someone if you would like to go to their house for tea. You ask what time and they tell you at about 7.' Right, then we were asked 2 questions- 'What time would you arrive?', and 'What would you expect to do when you arrived?'. Of course as we are americans most people said they would arrive a couple of minutes earlier or right at 7, and they expected to have tea (as in the beverage).
The teacher then told us that in Melbourne, Australia, the following would be true- we would be expected at 7.30 or 8. Then she told us that "tea" would consist of lamb chops, sausage (shags), chips (fries), vegetables, salad, and desert.
So is all that true? If I was tld to arrive at 7 in australia would I be expected at 7.30 or 8? And is that really what tea is? |
If you're paying for that education, I'd ask for a refund.
Shags, lol. |

On a related note kangaroo sausages are actually really good.
I'd expect someone over about 7.05 to 7.20 |

| If I invited someone round for dinner at 7 and they turned up at 8 I would have already eaten their dinner, be stoned off my arse and playing computer games. |

I'm actually going to a very good school, one teacher's stupid comment shouldn't be enough for you to judge the entire school. |

This thread is awesome. Sushipunk, when you have 'tea' every night, do you have it at 7:30 to 8 with shags, chips, lamb chops, koala bears, fosters, and a ing salad? |
