What made you switch to teaching? (theconversation.com)

The linked article explores some of the reasons people switch careers and become teachers. Are you a late career changer? What made you decide to get into teaching? Are you enjoying it? Do you regret it? How do you think we can attract more professionals from industry to become teachers and share their experience?

this is truly one of the sublemmy ever made

anw idk why I stumbled to this sub, I already subscribed to a lot of sublemmies, but probably there are sync problems so they mostly show local subs (from lemm.ee)

There is quite a strong community in r/AustralianTeachers on Reddit with lots of useful information exchanged, and I am hoping to building something like that here. I have made a few posts in an attempt to encourage engagement, but so far there doesn’t seem much interest. The r/AustralianTeachers subreddit did go private as part of the protests, but has since reopened, and it appears that it is pretty much back to business as usual like it was before the protests. I’m not going back to reddit, so I hope some of my colleagues will join me here, but if not then so be it.

There do seem to be some syncing issues. I can’t seem to get to this community from kbin for some reason – maybe something to do with software versions. I also can’t seem to post to [email protected] from here at lemm.ee – the “post” button just spins round and round with no progress. Maybe given some time, as the software matures, things will start to work better, but in the meantime there do seem to be quite a few issues with federation both within lemmy as well as between lemmy and kbin.

ah we're on the same boat then, I was a regular at r/indonesia, we did go dark for several days for protesting, but then it's business as usual

I made a sublemmy as an alternative, subscriber count has slowly gone up but most of them are still a lurker (no one is posting)
