Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Sorella dear, this is the relevant portion of that article:

If your employment contract assigns copyright ownership of materials produced for the classroom to the teacher, then you probably have a green light. Absent any written agreement, however, the Copyright Act of 1976 stipulates that materials created by teachers in the scope of their employment are deemed “works for hire” and therefore the school owns them.

Forget about the selling of lesson plans; it's only the reason why this has suddenly come to the forefront. Until the Copyright Act of 1976 is amended, anything you create as part of your job duties belongs to the school. In the public school system, it will belong to the state. This does NOT cover anything you create for purposes outside of your job, e.g. as a tutor not affiliated with the school.

It sucks, and any school/district that pulls this kind of stunt is incredibly short-sighted, but they do have a legal leg to stand on.

Pix, given how your school has been I can totally see them switching you to different classes, demanding your lesson plans for the past classes for a new teacher, and yhreatening to fire you if you don't give them up.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I would take out my own stitches... it ain't hard. And the damn things itch.

If my face was my tool, I'd be a little more cautious about it, both in waiting the recommended length of time before removing them, and perhaps having someone else do it. He had his face messed up around when I did, and there was no way I'd have taken the stitches out of my own face. Hells no.

Harry Potter is the second greatest TV character? How is that not wack?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Headline fail. At least the text of the article mentions TV and movies....

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

That looks ridiculous. Like she's wearing a policeman's cap, but on her chest.
