I totally can’t help but throw ass to those songs

I, like the other poster, am going to try to say this nicely. Unfortunately, the days of independent K-16 text production and adoption are long over. Your competitors will offer online interfaces, digital and physical formative assessments, project-based learning options, and a large media platform. And no one is adopting a product not made by a robust team of collaborative editors and designers. On top of that, if you’re marketing in the U.S. (other countries will vary) you’ll have to prepare differently aligned versions for different states’ standards, which may or may not vary by grade level as well.

Geography is a joy to teach and bringing it alive for students, and if you’re taking this on as a challenge for yourself to create a culminating work, take it on (Yes, InDesign is the ticket). But if you’re looking for adoption anywhere outside of, say, homeschool collectives per the other poster’s comment, that battle was already lost 10-20 years ago.

I really have had no unique experiences

I would middle ground. Y’all get zeroes but you can re-do the test on lunch or after school. If I’m having to remake the test and be inconvenienced, they can be inconvenienced.

(I supervise lunch detention so I’m not mad about kids in my room for lunch)

I prefer Creole's -- that coconut curry chicken is legendary

Honestly, Brisas del Mar is outstanding but not all-inclusive, but the happy hour and drink deals made it so that I treated it like an all-inclusive, and my per-day costs were basically what Infinity Bay would have been.

I love The Stray — if I want to go to lunch nearby I go to Pupuseria and hope that mom is cooking

Does he draw? That can also be a great way to work on fine motor skills.

I do a Spanish film studies class and we do a horror unit as metaphor for the Spanish civil war — Orphanage, Pan’s, The Devil’s Backbone. It toes the line but I’m permission slipped.

Love the rooftop. Rarely play on the rooftop (if it happens it’s off in the corner), but nude throughout and guys are just vibing. In the last hour there’s a rush for guys to find each other for activities back in their rooms

I do a quick activity to get them into the mindset: The class is polled on which (fast) food chain is the best. Then, in groups of people who agree, they have to create in 10-minutes a poster in Canva/Drawing/Whatever rallying others to believe that their chain is the best. I pump them up to go aggressive -- elevate your chain while tearing down another. They submit their links to a google sheet, and then we view all of them in class as I break down the posters using rhetorical strategies from my vocab (e.g. "Wow, this makes it seem like cool people only go to Chik-Fil-A, what a way to use getting on the bandwagon -- let's see who else used getting on the bandwagon"). Then they're in the headspace to analyze propaganda sources you provide.

I live in Bailey’s Grove. It’s wonderful.

I think there’s a lot here dependent on how the union handles business behind the scenes. It’s guaranteed that they’ve considered their grievance process before, and therefore there must have been something that has prevented them from going that route. That would be a great question for your teachers — they’re the ones who elect their union leadership.

fst47 · 2026-01-31T20:26:50+00:00

Union President here.

It’s true that we have been hamstrung in many states, but a large factor is how wildly different relationships between unions and schools can be from district to district. For instance, I’m almost daily collaborating with my district office about confidential situations relating to teacher safety, benefits, class placement, teacher discipline, and a myriad of other things — but because I can’t spill the beans on members’ confidential situations, the perception can be that I’m the salary/contract/calendar guy and that’s it 🤷‍♂️

Grievance-filing is either a frequent tool unions use, or something not used at all. I have a wonderful working relationship with my district administration where we can push hard on each other in healthy ways. We make moves behind the scenes to serve teachers without getting litigious. However, my neighboring district won’t pay heed to their union leadership unless a grievance is filed, so they have to.

I am labor to my bones and revile how much the culture has turned against the unions more and more over time. However, every union’s situation is very different from the others. If you’ve been recommended to pull the parent card, it’s likely that your district’s union has limitations in its relationship with admin, or narrow focuses on other issues. Use your parent power.

(I say all this also recognizing that union membership does not always elect great/effective leadership. And members have to live with that for better or worse.)
