WHOEVER YOU ARE         posted by jecika
this worksheet was downloaded by 4 different people and its average rating was 8. Then you voted and its rating changed drastically to 6,6. That means that you rated it below 5 and you know that it deserves more!!!!! You are very ungrateful and not supportive at all!!!!!!!! Because of people like you I m starting to be sick and tired of this site. Try to be more objective when rating other teachers efforts. The point of this site is not competitiveness but sharing ideas between teachers truly devoted to teaching.SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OVERREACTION         posted by jecika
SORRY EVERYONE! I REGRET SENDING MY PREVIOUS COMMENT AND I HOPE THAT I DIDN T OFFEND ANYONE. I REACTED TOO STRONGLY. WE ALL HAVE OUR UPS AND DOWNS, GOOD OR BAD DAYS.DON T WE? IT WAS OBVIOUSLY ONE OF MY BAD DAYS. I APPOLOGIZE ONE MORE TIME

         posted by nonina
Nevertheless, you are right. Many of your works deserve to be among the best rated, but they aren’t because we cannot prevent envious people from rating. This is deplorable, since we are all teachers, and we are supposed to be used to assessing fairly. The idea of sharing is wonderful, but I think that this website shouldn’t show the best rated or the most downloaded works on the homepage. As you said, this is not a competition! Instead, worksheets should be shown at random, so that all the great works that have been condemned to obscurity could be available.
Never forget that your work is brilliant, and this worksheet is simply perfect!!!

meuge

         posted by meuge
I absolutely agree with you, why not show a list of the different authors, so we could be able to see all the people s work? I really don t like the fact that only some works are shown on the page, and whenever they are in a list, someone sends bitter comments on them.

Oh God! You are so right! I wanted to write a message like yours myself but you did it first and I thank you for that! What is wrong with some people ??? I’m beginning to have doubts about the usefulness of the site. Some contributors have seen their wonderful works rejected for no apparent reasons. This has happened to me several times, and I have also seen my work unfairly underrated (again for no apparent reasons and with absolutely no explanations). Keep up the excellent work! 10 points for you!!

Completely agree         posted by ericaplak
Yup! Finally someone put into words the same feeling that many of us have deep inside! Envy corrupts the world and prevents other teachers to have access to great worksheets as yours!
Thanks for sharing anyway...and keep on sharing, we love your work!

What is wrong with some people?         posted by victor
Well, It seems that many of us have the same feeling. Many people have complained before about good contributions being rejected. And even if they are not so brilliant, at least we should approve them. Someone sent me an email saying that if he could make so good worksheets, he wouldn t need the website.
All this approval system is designed to avoid useless and stolen documents. Just that. At the beginning it was me who reviewed all the contributions, and many of them were just a sentence, or a drawing or an empty document. That s why I developed all this points system.
I never meant to promote competitiveness.
What is happening? is it that some people are angry because they have been underrated previously? is it envy? I don t know.
Please mail me all possible suggestions. To start with, I could remove the number of points and average rating from the authors profiles (the red rectangle under printables).
I like also the idea of showing random contributions in the main page. I could put it instead of the most downloaded printables. They are always the same because they have been there from the beginning.
By the way, I m making a forum so that we can discuss this and many other things properly.
Jecika, your worksheet is an excellent way of making language lessons enjoyable for students.

Teacher s Forum         posted by LuciaRaposo
Hi everyone! I really think a teacher s forum or a message board would be an excellent idea to improve the site. Most of the time, we need to send a message to all the teachers or to a specif one and we don t know how or who will read it! So, please Victor, make this change and your site will be even better! keep up the good work! Another thing, I believe the date should be included in each message or printable, so we are able to know if it is recent or not. Somehow, it will help us. Thanks for "listening"...

meuge

         posted by meuge
Yes Lucia, I think just the same as you do. It s a good idea to include tha date in our messages. We could do it ourselves every time we send a comment so we know when it was wriiten. by the way, jecika, I answered your request for help in one of my worksheets (BODY PARTS) . I hope you can solve it. Thank you all. 11th February, 2008.

Jecika this worksheet of yours is just awesome. I m sorry but I just read all the comments above. Now things look better cuz there s no such a rating system anymore. But, unfortunatelly, ENVY people are looking for other ways of competing here. As i left on the forum, people are stealing wonderful printables like these ones you do in order to get as many points as possible through lots of downloads. I hope you don t suffer with this too cuz I have seen in less than a week many printables being upload more than twice.

By the way, THANKS a lot for your participation on the website and for sharing your great worksheets with us!

This worksheet is wonderful and very very useful to me :) Thanks a lot for sharing and keep up the good work. As for the rating matter, what can we do?? Unfortunately, there are people that only wants to ruin other s reputation, instead of using their time for something better. Your works are very good. :) Cheers from Portugal!

This worksheet is nice and well presented. I am new to this site, but I have to tell you that your work is very good. I did not have much time to search for some more activities, but I have seen some activities that could be easily removed, different from yours. Keep up your good work and think that people around the world are happy to share your activities. Thank you. My name is Ursula Pimenta, from Offstage, in Brazil.

thank you a lot! do not worry of all those envious people, it´s their fault and their karma! we´re here to share experience and this is the most important - your worksheets are being downloaded and lots of people are grateful. since some envious people try to hurt you, you may believe that your works deserve something, otherwise they wouldn´t put attention on you. being that way shows that you´re better than them. good luck)
