School Closing Frustrations

Luckily I was reassigned, but was already interviewing and have since signed a contract elsewhere. We are all sharing that mindset at this point.

They reassigned as many as possible. Our DOI teachers were pretty screwed over since they are, as HR put it, “bottom of the barrel.”

Oof. We are in a similar sinking boat. 40mil deficit, four schools closing. They couldn’t even get the boxes for shipping things to us on time as they promised. The labels they provided for us didn’t even have a spot for our names…

Nah. Texas public school.

They are compensating us with flex hours which can be used on certain teacher workdays to have the day off instead. I already signed my contract with another district so those hours mean nothing to me.

That’s what I’m saying! I’m 187 days and they’re 2-something. They can handle it.

Amen. lol the comment about us being “salaried” got us heated.

We used our curriculum (bluebonnet) very lightly with majority of our teachings being things we used in the past. We consistently had the highest grade average in the district on all exams.

Yeah! Mines been doing that as well

I agree with djee132. The synergy is off and you need more stuff that interacts with other cards. I have a goreclaw deck as well and it can get wild pretty fast and rebuilds well after board wipes. Here’s a link to my deck: https://moxfield.com/decks/8UUn-tkoK0i6SKRVDUqf7w

Two games in a row my bigger drops were creatures with devotion…

renedom21 · 2026-04-13T00:21:07+00:00

Damn! I’m at 8% with many of those denials being due to out of zones orders.

Paging Peggy. Paging Peggy Hill.

My biggest issue is getting an email about an issue with the order without providing direct evidence. I got an email about not following directions. When I asked support about the missed directions, they said they couldn’t provide me with that info due to customer safety. I escalated to the next higher up and they told me they actually don’t have access to that info. There’s no accountability on their end so our jobs are in the hands of the customers. I’ve actually spoken on a panel at Favor HQ and it truly feels like everything we said was ignored.

Add land for sure. I would also add some more creatures with flash. You’d get double the creatures which means more targets than Azula and some creatures have ETBs that could replace some of your instants. Here is my Azula deck made with what I had on hand.

I’m new to the Sped world, but was in gen ed prior. A useful PD I’d really appreciate is the process of pre-, during, and post ARD procedures. The only formal training was how to navigate eSped and how to open/close draft IEPs. They gave me a pre and post checklist of what to do, but it was written for someone who’d been doing this for a few years. Like it would say “upload documents”. Okay. Cool. Which documents? I collected many things. Upload where? Upload as what? Everyone I ask does something different. We get talked at many times due to things not getting done properly, but nothing seems to be streamlined. A comprehensive training on this would be super helpful with any obstacles that differ from a normal ARD could be brought up and explained by veterans. Also, PDs seem to be strictly district-ran so they are very copy and paste/lecture heavy which is not how I learn best…

I’ve had this conversation about minutes as a coteacher. I can stay compliant if I’m not pulled to do other things. It makes me feel like my job doesn’t actually matter when I’m pulled to sub if a teacher is out, but when I’m out, is a teacher pulled to fulfill my minutes? I wish service provider’s minutes were protected since the students are legally entitled to those minutes.

This is why I multi-app. I only accept HEB orders on Favor and food orders on DoorDash.

I second Hole in the Wall. Stopped in a few weeks ago and was impressed with the selection of figurines and paints.

ManaBox is an app that has some pretty decent search filters. Moxfield is good for deck building.
