Hot off the presses: the November Teachers.Net Gazette....

Re: A Police State
Posted by Ben Coe on 8/25/04

    Hello. I'm an upper year university student and have found
    that rateyourprofessor.com can be a valuable tool for
    knowing what to expect from a professor and more importantly
    what professors to avoid.

    Granted public school presents a different situation
    entirely. Curious I went to rateyourteacher.com and looked
    up the high-school I attended, be it a few years ago now.

    The views expressed on this web-site were much more immature
    than those posted by the older demographic on the
    rateyourprofessor.com web site.

    ...But this is to me expected as the posters themselves are,
    for the most part, also much more immature.

    This having been said the reviews were pretty accurate. The
    teachers I remembered as being, for lack of a better word,
    jerks, had in fact received comments pointing out this fact.
    ...The teachers I remembered most fondly had generally
    received comments that reflected a generally pleasant view
    of them.

    Any ways. The point I am making is that public school is a
    hostile environment. And as a teacher, I assume, it can be
    easy to grow to resent this fact. But the students are human
    beings and have a right to their opinions. This can be easy
    to overlook due to the oft vicious and ignorant stances of
    these opinions. But still I think that a web-site like the
    one being protested can still be a valuable tool and that
    the foolish postings should be taken for what they are....

    Foolish.

    Ben.
