Welcome to
ESL Printables,
the website where English Language teachers exchange resources:
worksheets, lesson plans, activities, etc.
Our collection is growing every day with the help of many teachers. If
you want to download you have to send your own contributions.
I think that
this site so cool: we can share our work and use others when we don�t have time
to do our own.
But some
people are so obsessed in seeing if the worksheet is stolen from here or there,
that sometimes sent the bad and unnecessary
messages.
I guess this
kind of situations should be done by the administrator
of the site don�t you think?
I do my own
worksheet but some people download work from sites and put them in this page to
give access to those who don�t know other sites. It�s not right but I think that
they do it unintentionally.
I believe that people who download things from other websites or simply scan pages from books do it INTENTIONALLY to get more points which allow them downloading stuff without making any effort. I don�t think that�s the point of this site... I worked hard to prepare my worksheets and some people choose simplier way which is not fair. I don�t think that�s a good idea for the administartor to check all the worksheets. It�s just not possible to know all the resources. In each country we�ve got various pages and coursebooks and it�s impossible to know all of them.That�s why people report stealing (yes, it�s STEALING!). If you don�t allow your pupils to cheat on a test, don�t cheat yourself, otherwise you�re not the right person in the right place (I mean generally, not Catarina of course :) Greetings from Poland and thank you all for hard work!
I also think that most of them do it INTENTIONALLY. The rules are very clear (in the registration page, in the welcome email, in the uploading page...) And I think it is very important to avoid stolen worksheets in this website. Otherwise it wouldn�t be fair for those who work hard to make their contributions.
Everyday I review stolen contributions, but that would be impossible with the help of lots of users who report them.
On the other hand, I want to say that it is not necessary to fill the forum with messages on stolen worksheets. If you report them, telling me the link to the original one, that will be enough. The stolen contribution will be removed and the user will not get any point from it.
Dear Victor, I think that it is necessary to post a message that a given ws is stolen next to it. In this way people who are against it won�t download the worksheet (i never do it and i�m sure that the majority of people ignore a stolen ws!).
