TeacherReviews.com Forced Offline
MrCawfee writes "Dylan Greene's site Teacher Reviews which allows students to post reviews of their professors. The site was taken down because a professor complained about comments made against him, and threatened to sue. Here is an exerpt from his blog: 'Yesterday and tonight I talked with a professor who was extremely upset with what written about him on TeacherReviews. He had several inappropriate reviews that made unfounded accusations and inappropriate untruthful remarks such as calling him "Bipolar Paranoid Schitzophrenic."' You can read his blog here."
We're in "No Child Left Behind" mode now though; so that means that we have to dumb everything down so everyone can succeed on the same level and past pointless standardized tests that see if 6th grades know 1st grade math and 50% of them still can't pass....
What?

I think there needs to be a standard of education accountability within the college school structure. Current standards hire seemingly based soley upon accolades while neglecting teaching ability. Students have no rights. They are ripped at every avenue and forced to acquire mounds of debt. Education should be free. It seems the US college structure is built just to lock students into a fixed path of repayment and service. Education is not about jobs. It is about learning. Stop being subserviant. Review more teachers. If they can't teach or speak the language they should have to take classes, and buy books just like all the kids they screw yearly. High school teachers would outperform most college proffesors easily in a teaching evaluation.

Once the ACLU starts protecting the entire Bill of Rights I will donate, but not till then. I do donate to the EFF.
Shit... who the fuck found that funny anyway?
this site should be called slash nig
This story was really hot.... LAST WEEK.....
The site is going back up soon, hopefully.
I never really come here, but I have to say the format here is kinda cruddy.
Mostly " premature post-jacualations " without even taking the time to investigate, and the thread structure makes it impossible to extract any kind of sensible discussions.
Got here from the"referrer" log on Dylan's site, just out of curiosity, but, what a waste of time......the drama played out in his blog comments, reading those will give you a feel for how it went down.
-Bye nerds
Yes, my that professor.
