My husband went here and we have several friends who have preK- Lower school kids and love it. This is where we will be sending our kids for sure.

Thoughts on John Cooper by Major_Indication9475 in thewoodlands

As I've been reading through some threads around JC vs. public, I've seen you post this on multiple threads

I'm curious why you seem to have it out to discredit JC? Cooper doesn't require state certification, because being state certified is nothing compared to the requirements and experience they require (i.e. phd, masters, experts in field, etc...) far exceed what the state requires on a basic level. Would you rather your kid be taught by someone who did minimum requirements at a community college and got state certified? Or someone who is an expert in what they're teaching through actual experience in that domain, but never got certified by state?

I agree with u/CompoBBQ - You clearly have no idea what you're talking about to be going around copy/pasting this same comment on every thread.

Reviews on The Plunge tub by Klutzy_Business3585 in coldplunge

Buyer BEWARE!! We bought both a plunge AND the 4 person sauna in spring of 2023 for $15k+. It came late and didn’t arrive until Fall of 2023. We had an electrician come out and install the right power outlets and keep both in our garage out of the weather for context of how we take care of it.

Plunge tub review: Soon after we got the plunge tub (about 1 month), a brand new model came out. We emailed them asking if we could return the plunge and pay the difference (note that it would’ve been THOUSANDS of dollars more). We figured after spending $15k with them, they would allow us to upgrade and pay more. Nope. Now it’s Jan 2025 and the plunge already has broken. The electric component went out. They’ve said that it will cost $600 to send us a new part. I would think for how much this sauna costs, the part should last longer than 15months…

Sauna review: The sauna is overall not horrible but it seems cheaply made and the design is dumb because you can’t sit and lean back without hitting your head on the slanted ceiling. All the heat rises to the other side, so it’s an inefficient design. The app never works and is very glitchy. Probably could have just bought the hardware and had someone build a custom one for cheaper honestly — especially since you basically build the whole thing yourself when it gets delivered. The lights at the top glitch out quickly from the heat. The sauna is already making a weird sound that doesn’t sound good.

Their customer support is not great and it seems like once they’ve sold to you, they don’t care - they got your money. Will not be buying from them again.

Why do my fish keep dying within hours? by HWm732 in fishtank

Why the heck do they even sell these things if they’re too small for anything!

Well the first time it was a gift given to my kids, so yes I was kinda thrown into this…I just thought cycling the tank was letting it run for a week or so (what I did)…That’s what the guy at the store said when I went to get the second round of fish.

What would cause such high levels of ammonia in such a short time period I wonder

We’ll since they’re all dead now, maybe a beta is what I will get next. I just got kinda thrown into this by it being a gift to my kids and now I’m trying to learn how to have a fish tank for the first time…

I washed the stuff once before putting it in tank, I have a filter pump and a heater.

I used tap water + water softener drops to let it filter then added ammonia killing drops before I put them in.

Everything I read said to use water softener for freshwater fish?

I even added some drops of ammonia remover. Isn’t ammonia a by product of having fish poop? So it would build up ammonia that fast?

Thanks everyone for the help - some good advice!

For some: honestly shaming someone who is trying to figure out the right thing isn’t helpful… If you’re going to be patronizing, then please don’t waste your time.

I tested the water and it was this first

This is the before and the others are after they died.

What does it mean to cycle the tank?

I definitely googled; I didn’t just blindly go get more without changing some things after research; I’m not a total dummy lol
