[QUOTE="AllStressedOut, post: 87878, member: 3837"] I see your point of view Fran. I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of bad mouthing either. I would however want to read what people posted that was positive. The excerpts I read were all positive. It seemed those that visited the site truly just wanted to say "good job" and not bash anyone. I do think if this site isn't moderated by someone, it should be. I think you're getting into an area where people need to only state facts and a moderator would be the one to view it and determine if it seems fact based. The problem is, with an online community that is nation wide, it is very difficult to check out what seems fact based. You may find that many students or parents feel the same way about a teacher that you do. Maybe before finding that out you were blaming your kid for messing up. I'm having that experience this year with my oldest easy child in math. Then I found out that all the honors kids are having the same problems, most with worse grades than my son. Thats a teacher specific thing, not a student thing. These are things I'd like to hear about so I know to address them with her and with her supervisor. If I think its my son, I'm dishing out punishments instead of realizing the true problem. If all the kids are having the same problems, its not the kids. I use this theory with my oldest difficult child. If he can't work with anyone, then its not the other kids who have a problem, its him. I'm more likely to visit a new place if it comes recommended by real people and not paid critics. I also don't necessarily believe test scores make a school better or worse. I believe its the people that make a school. I guess thats why I like the idea of real people ratings. You just have to take in what you read and process it yourself with your own experiences.
