							| Everyone has different needs and looks for different things in a ws.  I can �t see how a rating system would help. |  25 Feb 2010

							| I �m satisfied with the current sytem - if it suits my purpose I download it (whether to use as is or adapt).  It �s easy to sort the most popular ones within my specific search which sometimes, but not always, indicates the better quality printables. Why do you suggest a rating system? |  25 Feb 2010

							| Isn �t it a kind of "rating" already the number of downloadings on each worksheet? I agree with eng789... Our needs are different. Let �s leave things as they are in this case! Hugs Julia |  25 Feb 2010

							| OE �s need to be rated because the points awarded to the author depend on it. Printables and PowerPoints get points according to the downloads I guess the wss with the most downloads are the most appreciated/highly rated. |  25 Feb 2010

							| Good morning,   A long, long time ago, even before powerpoints could be uploaded or online exercises were made, the ws were rated. Probably, it didn �t work well, because Victor has changed the system as it is today...In my opinion, it is better the way it is today...I assure you it �s easy to get points this way...   Have a good day!

							| Dear Regina, at the very beginning,Esl Printables �s wss  had been rated. The moderators used to give marks/grades for wss and this is how we got our first points. From this experience I can tell it �s not a good thing. Who can appreciate and tell the quality of a ws? We all are teachers and as Victor stated we don �t judge wss anymore, who are we to do that?? The current system is the best, so I think it �s better to let things go as they are. |  25 Feb 2010

							| Dear Regina, we teach different grades with different needs so I think donapeter said it right. The system is great the way it is, and probably the most fair one.
  Have a nice day, MJ

							| I agree. The current system is a  �vote with your feet � system. If the viewers don �t want something they don �t download it. I like it.     I do find, however, that I download a lot of stuff that appeals but I never use it. Do you do this as well?   Just wondering  Joy |  25 Feb 2010

							| I wanted to tell only my opinion. I think that not always the most downloaded wwss are the best. We live in a society in which colourful and pictures goes first, but we don �t bother at all if the contents we are looking for are the best or not.Best wishes from Spain. |  25 Feb 2010
