I already said I'm 17. This is what I was talking about in my other post, where you ignorant people don't read the entire thread before posting. So you are ignorant.
And what do you mean, I feel "threatened?" Threatened about what? There's nothing to be afraid of. I think you're just posting BS.
Anyway, yeah, I'm sure school administrators or lining up to get on to ratemyteachers to see how kids rate the teachers.
My point is....WHO CARES?! Stop taking things so seriously! Honestly, if someone was saying bad things about me on the internet, I'd IGNORE IT. It's just a dumb site where kids say a bunch of crap about their teachers, and they probably don't mean it! They're probably just mad because they failed a class or wasn't one of the teacher's favourites! The kids probably think it to be true, 'cause most kids are dumb and aren't focused on actual teaching ability.
And if the kids there are saying things that are against the law, then why isn't anyone taking them to court? It's not hard to track an IP, if you're wondering how you can catch them.
Oh wait, I know why. Because no judge in their right mind would send someone to jail because they said "OMG MY TEACHER, WHAT AN ASS, I HATE HIM/HER! THEY DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT TEACHING BLAH BLAH BLAH!" They'd dismiss it as typical teenage nonsense, which is what you should do.
And about your thing about graduating a bunch of Universities, big deal. You read my idiot comment and thought I was insulting your intelligence, so you start rambling on about Harvard, when in fact I thought your COMMENT about rateyourteachers manipulating kids was idiotic, which I still believe is true.
