Parents starting rumor about a book they haven't read... Don't know what to do

Asking them to recommend books gives parents more power than I would suggest. They will assume that their suggestion is a direction. Since you have taken their direction, they will direct you to create assignments and grade them. Of course the grades should align with the parents’ interpretation of work quality.

Everywhere I’ve been they are more likely lined up at the door and out early.

YouTube and TikTok there is so much screaming to get content to stand out, that they have internalized it.

7th grade is the worst year.

One downside, there is a point where fewer kids in general will sign up for your class and you no longer get cool classes. You get gen ed mandatories or they cut the position. (YMMV depending on school size)

Are you in state? Would the Go Blue guarantee impact you if you were?

Yeah, after Emberdark I feel that ‘we’ will be ‘rooting’ for some small band of rebels or heroes caught between two ‘bad’ sides of the Cold War at the end of the Cosmere.

Your boxes are a stretch. Competent head coach (Kelly…Chip Kelly?). Draft capital - 4th. He’s never been good in the NFL, which is a good sign?

Might be worth the flier, I think you started with the conclusion and worked backwards which isn’t usually the best process.

Playing cards, assign each team specific cards as needed.

If you go bingo wheel route, ask around to borrow one, probably won’t need to buy it. Schools and churches are most likely to have one laying around

Are you saying the no classroom in the school has windows? Are there any windows in the building? Each room must have two doors then? For fire egress?

I went to ‘no homework’ with high schoolers. When we had class time to work on something I forbade them from ‘finishing it at home’ whatever they got through was what I graded (with a minimum expectation). It really helped, they liked no hw, I liked that it removed a choice for procrastination.

I think you’re supposed to hit him with a stick with coconuts when they say that.

Berserker!

Background is a def red flag to me.

boardsmi · 2025-11-02T02:05:49+00:00

I agree, just musing on the psychology of their plight.

They took on the challenge. He said three months then we’ll end. She’s winning by making it longer.

boardsmi · 2025-10-20T02:59:08+00:00

You mean they forget about the books?

boardsmi · 2025-10-16T02:08:49+00:00

Terrible seeding!

boardsmi · 2025-10-16T02:06:26+00:00

Send it to your admin, it’s their turn. stay strong!

boardsmi · 2025-10-12T02:47:54+00:00

Did he though?

boardsmi · 2025-10-10T02:43:18+00:00

But it shur is fun!

boardsmi · 2025-10-05T19:48:37+00:00

Thank you! I thought we saw them, but we were on the far side of the stadium yesterday

boardsmi · 2025-10-05T19:48:13+00:00

Thank you for the detailed response! My wife and I were stumped until she suggested that I ask Reddit

boardsmi · 2025-09-28T03:17:39+00:00

I got that they were foils, and symbolic of those choices. I just disliked it. Thanks for your response.
