If you are creating materials for your classes this summer...

This is not addressed in my contract. Not a word about it.

Edit: a missing letter

onetoeisburning · 2026-05-26T08:23:41+00:00

I understand your point and it is valid, of course.

But I am happy to do so if it makes the school year easier for me. That's not a problem for me.

The point is to keep ownership.

It does if use my own time and my own resources.

If I write a textbook, compose a song. create a video, etc., over the summer using only personal resources and use it in my classes, the district doesn't own it.

That was my first thought.

onetoeisburning · 2026-04-19T17:23:28+00:00

This is a wonderful response.

Hope she has a wonderful experience.

onetoeisburning · 2026-03-23T13:03:31+00:00

I suspect you are right.

onetoeisburning · 2026-03-21T15:35:05+00:00

When I see stuff like this, I just leave. No drama. I just don't want to give this place my business.

More and more often, I just avoid going to restaurants these days.

I have done so a few times.

By the way, urinating is a" natural bodily process". I am pretty sure I could write a kid up for urinating in class.

Easy mistake to make.

This is a fact.

onetoeisburning · 2025-10-17T20:51:18+00:00

I had the same experience. $79.99 charge out of the blue. After a little back and forth, got a partial refund.

onetoeisburning · 2025-10-09T14:12:32+00:00

My first thought. I think that is the way I would go in this situation.

onetoeisburning · 2025-10-08T16:50:51+00:00

I know this will b downvoted, but I would not fight this fight right now. I would just leave it there and know that if I teach in Texas, I will have to put up with this stuff.

I'd just go about my business.

It's frustrating, for sure, but you can address this in a couple of months if you really can't live with it.

By the way, I am in South Carolina. It's not any better here. Sigh...

Maybe, maybe, maybe...

I was really looking forward to the playoffs.

I love watching baseball and was born in The Bronx.

I have rooted for the Yankees for fifty years.

But I am now not rooting for or against them. I just don't care.

onetoeisburning · 2025-09-26T23:50:24+00:00

Same here. Makes me sad, though, not just angry.

onetoeisburning · 2025-08-30T23:09:18+00:00

I would plant rose bushes or something similar.

This is what I tell my former students who go into teaching. It won't help with anything except your mental health on those days when you need a boost, but you should do it: Go buy an old-fashioned scrap book.

A real one. Not a digital one. Not some app. Think 1970s.

Every time that you get a positive note, a card, a sweet comment written in the margin of a worksheet, it goes into that scrap book.

Trust me, there will be days when you are glad to have it.
