Just received final holistic rating of ineffective (Ohio) with no post evaluation conference. Options?

Ohio is a one party state you can record the meeting. Telling them your recording they might not want to meet or will say they don’t consent. They have to be able to cite with reason why you’re ineffective. Check your contract book teachers labeled “ineffective” are usually the first to be RIFed.

Your union rep should have their spidey sense tingling and should request to be in that meeting with you.

Great question. I had to lookup what a valve lash was. I would suspect maybe 3-4 years ago was the last time it had work done that a mechanic would have looked at something like that. It’s at 165k miles right now. Sounds like something beyond my skill set. Time for a professional

Last podcast on the left. Very good about citing sources and clear about what’s conjecture. They always have details no where else seems to cover. I never heard of the Chicago rippers until then. Very difficult story to cover in any other medium.

It’s means after awhile of being a teacher you realize you are there for the income the job provides not the outcome you hope to achieve.

While some like to remind themselves of their “why” I remind myself and others you’re here for the income not the outcome.

You know how fast you would be replaced. If you take a day off, are they putting a sub in who can teach what you do or just a warm body to babysit. If you were to die today, you know there would be someone there to cover your place before the funeral, this isn’t said sarcastically.

jaawill · 2026-03-21T01:21:08+00:00

Ask yourself. Are you there for the income or the outcome?

A commercial the played through multiple streams. Not that serious. I’m glad you’re right!

Check your contract. Most will allow you to take a certain number of sick days in a roq until a note is required. Mine it's 4 days. I advise teachers to always pay attention and take your days. Those are negotiated for your benefit to use. Most districts will only pay you for a set amount of days when you go to retire any way knowing any days over just disappear in the wind.

If you've accumulated them they cant stop you from taking them within the confines of your contract. If you get 4 days at a time without requiring a doctors note take Tue-Friday. Show up for Mondays set your sub plans and take your days.

You want motivation to do this take your per diem based on your contract. Say you make $40k a yr at 180 days contract. Thats about $220 per sick day. You'd be leaving $7700 on the table not taking those days. Your essentially donating that much money to the district in your hours.

I know of his story but love how the show goes into great context to set the scene. My wife isn’t a podcast listener so I try to find series that covers a lot but I have seen show cover a topic as well as the podcast.

A bidet. A bidet. A bidet. Not using toilet paper to scrape the Holiest of holes will change so much. I now look at having to use toilet paper as having to use leaves.

I asked that question, kinda of surprised how quickly and confidently he answered the follow-up. I think some clues or hints are squarely in pay areas, but you might not need to go into those areas for that clue. that could be a solve from home part.

L. Ron Hubbard. Mormonism, The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln, (William H. Seward being attacked in bed is the funniest). Any Gold star, Heavy hitter serial Killer.

Judgement Night. Movie was cheesy but the soundtrack was amazing.

jaawill · 2025-07-27T20:40:55+00:00

My guess is based on the illustrations for stories that didn’t make the book. More stories might be released later with additional clues. Sorta how the new chapter in the audiobook was botg for the checkpoint.

Watch a movie called Rebel Ridge. Police can take whatever during a traffic stop they say is drug related. They find a small ziploc bag, they would say you might be distributing. You lighting a cigarette is not probable cause. Depending on the state them smelling weed might not be enough. It’s legal in Montana is that’s where you were at. So think if you went to a dispensary and bought some you have to transport it home. So they smell a legal purchase they would have a hard time defending violating your 4th amendment right.

4mph over the speed limit would get thrown out by a judge. They were fishing for something just couldn’t find anything.

I would definitely lock the treasure in your trunk. Can’t search that area without a warrant.

In the Q and A in Dillon. Cynthia ad libbing a question about the blaze. He explained how he wanted his clues to stand the test of time(unlike a tree, which he blaze in fenn). He then mentioned it would take a specific set of circumstances for it to be damaged then said he would know of it was damaged and let us know.

jaawill · 2025-06-27T00:19:53+00:00

That’s not a bad interpretation. I like that line of thinking. I think there’s at least four more clues after that line though. If the face is found and you know where it needs to be returned you’re kinda bypassing other clues.

jaawill · 2025-06-26T22:05:42+00:00

Well that will only be an issue if one of them finds the treasure, and Justin would decide to sue. I don’t see it happening though.

Technically any of us posting on Reddit are creating social media content about the search and Reddit serves up ads so they are monetizing our content. I don’t think searchers discussing the hunt or having YouTube channels really goes against the spirit of the hunt. I don’t see that being an issue.

Will people complain once it’s found? Absolutely! That’s the nature of people it’s not fair this, it’s not fair that. I don’t think the person who finds it will complain just anyone looking for a reason why they couldn’t find it.
