Requests for worksheets
 
Hello fellow board members!

Sorry, I �ve been distant and silent for a while. Life has been too demanding lately.

I logged in today and got 3 messages from 3 different people requesting that I send them "all" my work to their personal email account, as they don �t have any points left to download.

Has this happened to you any time? I �m very surprised at the cheekiness of their requests...

I hope I �m not opening Pandora �s box with this message...

I �ll try to share some new contribuitions soon. I need to set my life in order and sit down and create!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Dear Paula,
2 minutes ago I  have received the same message.
I can understand that people need A ws or two, but when they ask for your all work ......it makes me think: why would I do that? Why would I give my whole work to someone who is somehow lazy to create and share something. I don �t want to be mean and I do give my ws via e-mails but....the good sense is often forgotten.

I would send my ALL wss via e-mails but I WANT SOMETHING IN RETURN? So, dear fellows...what do you offer in change?

I �ve received all kinds of weird messages.... And some of them were requests for worksheets.

I think the problem is that some people are not teachers so they have no idea how to teach and instead of looking for a book, they complicate their lives looking for things on the net.

Maybe they think they will get their whole live �s solved with a click. That means... having a small brain.
 You can save time by doing things right rather than by trying to find short cuts that show your lack of professionalism.

Btw., Some also think this is a dating site..

veronica: don �t say your worksheets are boring, they look good... i wanted to see if they were boring, or if you didn �t have many, you have 3 pages of resources...i only checked the first page, and on that there were several i would have downloaded if i had points...(as a new member and a teacher-in-training it �s hard to get points and make resources to share)
anyway, your worksheets are good. :)
