I īm speechless... How can you īaccuse ī people of monopolizing points? How is it possible? We just download (and give points to the author) the wss we want to and about those teachers "with over xxx,xxx points", you can be pretty sure they really deserve all of them. They īve worked very hard for that; the most of the activities are much better than book exercises (and they professionals!). But think... Life is funny... Some people want to learn... Some want to improve their work ... Some want to show themselves they can do it... And some sit and complain saying how difficult and unffair life is... |

All of you are absolutely right, Manonskiīs answers speaks for all of us:) I admire people who are so creative, intelligent, hard-working and have such beautiful ideas. They have their points because they deserve them, they share the best, they get the best. It is fair enough for me. If you are intelligent, have common sense, just look at the site for a few days, think about how to be better and do something for it. If my students complain like this, I always tell them - stop crying and start doing something useful:) Have a nice day, I am totally grateful to those hard working people with xxx points because the bring new ideas and do not complain:) |

Do you know how long it takes to make a good worksheet that people will like and download?
Have a look at most of these monopolisers ī pages and go to the last page of their work and you will see that they too have arrived at the point they are at through trial and error and they also started off with only a few downloads, perhaps assessed what they were doing wrong and tried again until they got the recipe right ...
Some good advice I was given as a little girl was
īThink before you speak ī
I think manonski has put it in a nutshell...so get off your high horse and stop whinging and do some work.Be a giver and not a taker!!

I also want to give a piece of good advice: Just upload yr five usual exs you do with yr sts in class and you īll get a pass to a magic world of priceless worksheets made by very talented and creative teachers , then you īll probably learn how to do them yourself and share with us |

In real "life" this would mean that you don īt want to work in a job for a salary, therefore you are poor.
But instead of starting to look for a job to earn money and of doing some serious work, you would suggest, no, demand that the rest of the population starts to collet money for you that would permit you to continue your idle life.
Is that what you call fair, living at the expense of others?
Is that how things work around you?
What exactly is your notion of fairness?
