    How do you feel about comments written about yourself on Rate my Teacher website? Do you take them personally or do you see the funny side of them????

    I'd kinda like to know what they think of me to be honest, especially the negatives. I'm always tempted to put my name up (because whichever student did put me up got my name wrong) just to see what they say. I don't think any of them go on it really though.

    they will say stupid crap about your clothes or something. I apparently will make you fail your leaving cert!! It was easy to widdle it down to the one who did fail over all the years and also the fact they always went on the hop instead of school would of course be of no value to their education; but in their minds I have a direct line with the SEC and purposely made them fail their leaving cert! Gas.

    I got three comments during my PGDE; two said I was "a legend" and the greatest teacher they'd ever had. One said I was the worst teacher they ever had. Truth is I fell, probably, bang in the middle...

    Normally the students who do not want to work post negative comments about the teacher. I find that if you tell a student a few home truths about how they are not working or send a letter home suddenly you are a bad teacher with crap methods. This is a ridiculous site and can be soul destroying for a teacher who genuinely works hard to help students because it's always the student with an axe to grind that makes a comment. Information will never be learnt by a student who is not receptive to it, teachers are not magicians who can wave a wand and upload information into somebody's brain, they merely facilitate learning in students who are open to learning. A grossly unfair site and an unjustified medium for students with grips to slander their teachers.

    This topic has been discussed a few times and as this thread is 7 months old I don't see the need to drag it up again so that the same things can be said over and over.

    My suggestion? Ignore the site.
