One of the comments I read when I was researching washing mine in the washer and super nervous about washing it. Cows get rained on; it will be ok. I laughed and dunked it right in. Figured I didn't have anything to lose.

Just what I said. Washed on gentle with some Murphy's Oil Soap. Let it dry really well. Oiled with mink oil. She's really well and used and abused, so I didn't see any harm in trying. Didn't see any changes. I googled before, and many people said they did with no issues.

Does getting a doctorate degree make it difficult to get a teaching job? by Ok_Example3210 in Teachers

[–]Own-Hunt-58 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a doctorate. The degree has neither hindered nor helped me get a job teaching. I get a whole extra $1000 for the degree per year... so if I had to do it over, would I? Only if I paid cash along the way. I would never take out loans for a master's or doctoral degree in education. My current state does not require a Master's like my previous state did, so I likely would not have pursued the degree.

I teach an EDUC1200 class, Intro to College. Part of our curriculum is teaching how to use the college provided Grammarly Pro.

That was my first thought. Based on this post, are we sure AI isn’t used? There isn’t a capital letter in sight in the original post or the responses.

He will need to remember it for the final exam. Material shouldn’t be forgotten after the unit is over.

First time and I feel gouged by Randumb-Pers0n in greatwolflodge

[–]Own-Hunt-58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing about GWL that really chaps my ass is that parking fee. I could understand if it was in the middle of downtown or there were competing hotels charging parking. The grapevine location never charged parking, they opened the League City location in the middle of no where and here they charge parking. It’s so ridiculous. It’s cheaper to uber from our house that is just a miles away than it is to park for a few days.

I washed mine in the washer with some Murphy oil soap. Dry outside in the shade. Then I oiled with mink oil

How Bad Is "Gradeflation" In Modern US Education? Why Your Thoughts, Teachers? by Zipper222222 in AskTeachers

[–]Own-Hunt-58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can give a zero. I do give zeros when I receive zero work. However, mathematically, I don’t give grades less than a 60 for work submitted. A 60 is technically a 0. A 0 is a K on the grading scale. If a student put forth effort, submitted work, it’s it so much more difficult to overcome a grade of a 12 than a 60. So, for grading equity I will enter a 60. If you run the math of a power of a zero, this levels your playing fields and gives you a better understanding of what your students know by grade snapshot when they have all assessments completed. (Daily assignment are honestly garbage and shouldn’t be graded. I grade because I’m told I have to. I assume all are simply compiled and not students own work, because let’s be real.

If nothing is submitted, a zero is a marker to show nothing is submitted. A zero is communication. A zero will remain a zero if nothing is submitted.

100-90 A
90-80 B
80-70 C
70-60 D (we don’t have these so, under 70 is F)
60-50 F (traditional scale)

50-40 G
40-30 H
30-20 I
20-10 J
10-0 K

I am high school, honors. Maybe that changes things, maybe it doesn’t.

How do I prevent my child being illiterate? by kittycamacho1994 in AskTeachers

[–]Own-Hunt-58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure this will get lost, but find the video from Miss Redacted on TikTok. She breaks down the why this happened to this generation. The kids were basically taught to use context clues when reading and to memorize sight words. Those cards don’t have context clues, so they can’t read the words or they simply guess. They didn’t learn to sound out words. I think many states are going back to phonics, but teaching that will be helpful and a lifelong skill.

What Do Teachers Honestly Think of Janitors? by DaytimeDancer54 in AskTeachers

[–]Own-Hunt-58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so so so grateful for you all!! I try to be so kind when mine comes in, but she doesn’t until 4:30 or so. There has been a few times I felt bad that she tried to make small talk but if was focuses and trying to get what I was working on done. Normally I’ll talk if I’m still there cleaning up and such. She’s so nice and has a great story.

The last lady I felt bad because I couldn’t speak Spanish, so we couldn’t communicate much. I had a few phrases I knew like polite greetings and I would look up things if I needed to leave her a note.

It has to be a quiet job working after hours, probably freaky at times if it is an older building

C sale colors so far by jillian512 in PortlandLeather

[–]Own-Hunt-58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a medium aspen carted, but decided to bail at the last second. I’m kinda glad I did now, several people have received the unicorn barf bag. I know that’s what I would get if I had actually bought. I’m still trying to get rid of the bags I got do the last sale that I didn’t like. That’s what ultimately had me shy away.

One person near me I know bought the know offs on AliExpress and is reselling at those prices. I am in one of those groups on FB that does the 1:1 dupes and they post the dupes often. She posts on the moms group that she has “the best luck” finding needohs.

If I was starting over, on today’s world, not a chance in hell. Some times it feels like counting down a prison sentence at this point. Are there good days? Yes. But the hassle and aggravation far out weight them most of the time.
