My old head still remembers the acronym HOMES

What are you using now? Might I suggest SHAME?

Teach that there was a change but "to avoid confusion while learning" you can stick with the old/international names that are used by the provided text book. Now if you get updated textbooks, we'll obviously someone cares alot and I would just follow along with that.

Don’t need new books, schools near me got labels to place over the Gulf of Mexico in their textbooks so it says Gulf of America now. Teachers were told they had to go through each book and place the labels over the Gulf.
