Hot take: most “teaching resources” aren’t built for real high school classrooms.

Between pacing guides, testing pressure, and students at wildly different levels, a lot of resources that look great online just don’t survive contact with a high school classroom.

So I’m genuinely curious:

• What resources have you found that are actually usable day to day?

• Are there tools or materials that help students review, practice, or prepare for assessments without constant hand-holding?

• What do you wish more teaching resources understood about high school students and teachers?

Bonus question: if you had to recommend one resource you’d keep even if everything else disappeared, what would it be—and why?

Looking forward to hearing what’s worked (and what definitely hasn’t).
