Abdel: destroying instead of building
 
You have just shown how rude,  and nasty you are.

My suggestion: instead of criticizing what you did not read well and do not understand, why don�t you use that same time to help others?
You seem to be a master. share your wisdom...

Maybe you do not know we, real teachers, have to deal with many different capacities and as real teachers we have to adapt everything, beginning from the simpler to be able to build higher and stronger.


From now on, i will keep in silence as many others have done.
I can say I understand them well.

By the way...what a nasty remark!: "Ss are a piece of meat without a brain."

Tere,
I agree. He was WAY out of line with that comment.  So many people here resort to mud slinging and name calling which is what we did in kindergarten.  Shouldn �t we be bigger than that?

You are both right, Tere and Spagman63.
 
Probably it �s more intelligent to ignore certain comments and remaks.
 
Have a nice day, both of you!

Just a thought ( I have so many these days...) we �re allowed to report worksheets but not allowed to report abusive members? I �m not thinking of a particular member here and I have no problem with disagreements. Why are we forced to  put up with nastiness?

With all due respect to EVERYONE,
I don �t think it is fair to bring in Islamic teaching to justify one individual �s erroneous/unprofessional phrase.
 
As far as I know, Islamic world has great traditions of scholarship and education.
 
(Oh no, there flies the first rotten tomato at me...LOL)

I saw the comment earlier and chose to ignore it.  Some people just want to stir things up.  I am beginning to wonder if some of the people on the site are really teachers.

Lana, here are flowers for you, not tomatoes.  I agree with you and I �ll gladly share the rotten tomatoes if some are thrown.

I �m really really surprised to read all this against something I wrote unintentionally. Sometimes the difference of culture may build a wall for some ppl who are looking for disagreements and quarrelling. I don �t think we should do this on this website. It �s frustrating!
 
I think all what I wrote to you was praising your helpful explanation. I guess praising someone is something positive, so what �s the problem with you?
 
That phase "...piece of meat" is derived from an informal saying in our country meaning people who have a body without mind. If you consider that as something harmful then I �m sorry, but you should have shown some kind of tolerance, or at least you could have sent me a message to ask for its meaning. That �s what sound minded ppl should do rather than be one line against someone for religious or personal grounds ... is that ok?
 
You better go wash your heart first. Even the Innovice Teacher advised you to learn some ethics before speaking. At least if not as a teacher then as a human being.

You are making me laugh. I don �t want to raise a religious discussion here because it �s not the right place. You should just be ashamed of yourself and open your eyes before you speak like that. Who are you to judge Islam. You �d better judge your so called country for the big harm it �s been doing to the owners of the land.
 
Anyway, I met nice people here in this website and I don �t care if a bunch of them are bad here.
 
Well, deal with the nice and ignore the bad.
 
Have a good night

I have removed my comment because it was directed at abdel only and I didn �t want to offend anyone. 
 
I was just repeating a comment he made  in an earlier post where he said that Islam teaches love and peace - but here we only hear hateful comments like Ss are a piece of meat without a brain - from him.
