I have been away for more than a week, with no access to the internet and to my surprise... when I logged in tonight many members seem to be fuming and having arguments!
Now maybe I should write a guide to understanding and controlling frustration (for autistic and nonautistic alike!!) ;)
c �mon guys!!!
we are teachers, we educate, we devote part of our lives to giving others a better chance in life, the ugly should not be part of all this surely!
have a good morning,day,evening... |

Oh my Gosh! Sometimes I feel like I don �t want to be part of this, I don �t understand how people can be so harsh on one another. I �ve been part of the site for a month or so, and only once I made a comment on something which I thought was unfair, and I was attacked with an ironic answer from an older member, and made out my mind not to give my opinion ever again and just upload and download what I found useful. However, when I see all this turmoil going on, I feel sad and disappointed. there are great teachers here, who make great worksheets, beautifully decorated and appealing to students (and especially, to us who download them), but having been an EFL graduate teacher for more than ten years, working both at state and private institutions, I would feel really upset if a colleague made comments, like the ones I �ve been reading today, on my work. I think that the primary reason why we joined this site was sharing our work. Just felt I had to say so.
Hugs, from Argentina

I agree with all of you guys.....
There are some people here who are not here to share, flatter, give opinions, exchange ideas and so on.
Every single day I receive a message that my printable will be removed because in my exercise there was a scanned picture or the "person" who wrote the comment had already seen the picture used before.... I gotta laugh LOL. C�mon.....! Let�s take it easy.
The pictures need to come from somewhere.
I wonder if it happens to you.
I�m getting really upset and disappointed 
I wish we could go back to the old times.
Have a nice day
PEACE.
