Costi Update

For those of you who have been wondering where Michelle's blog has gone.

Some bastard in an internet cafe managed to change her passwords for her blog, and two email addresses. Hence the disappearance of the site.

So, we need to encourage Costi to start a new blog so that we know where in the world she is and what she is doing. And curse the scum who got his/her jollies from doing this.

Rate Me?

So. I haven't posted in a while. But you see, Lovely Luke managed to lock us out of the computer, and I don't really have time to write a post at work. Also, my life is so boring there really has been nothing to write about except work, and you don't want to hear about that.

BUT, in saying that, I'm going to write about something related to teaching.

Some of you may be aware of the site 'Rate my Teacher'. It is a site where students can anonymously write about and rate their teachers. Thankfully I am not on the site as of yet, I'm too new (or maybe not worthy enough), but I imagine it won't be long as teachers from my school are being added all the time. I'm not sure how I feel about this. I'm not too worried as I have a pretty good relationship with most of my students, but there are those tenagers who will say you are mean/not fun/a bitch because you make them do work and don't let them gossip or play rugby in class. I have read some of the comments about the other teachers and some of them are a little unfair.

And it is anonymous, so kids aren't even owning up to what they think.

How would you feel if you were rated on a website that everyone can read? And not by adult clients who expect a professional service but by often hormonal angsty teens who aren't so much expecting a service from you as believe you are there to make their life hard.

Maybe I shouldn't check it from now on, just incase I find something I don't want to know... who am I kidding, I'm far too curious.
