The person is a total jerk - ignore him/her.
I�d be ashamed to have a person like that as a teacher.
(I really doubt he/she is!)
I think your stuff is brilliant!

Just as Libertybelle said, ignore this person. Your worksheet was welcomed by many , so don�t let the opinion of such a person bother you.
Keep it up!!!!!!!!!
Best regards,

I agree with you. This person just comes to this site to do things like this. I�ve reported some of his "Worksheets", one was written in a foreign language and the title of it was "LOL", another one was empty, another one had offensive language. He is just trying to make fun. I think his account should be canceled.

you can leave a comment without downloading the ws (something he/she couldn�t do since he/she has no points). There have been some bad comments recently from people who don�t have any points. I guess they do that just for the pleasure of being bad. Despise her/him is the best thing to do! |

Well Isabelle.......
Despise is a pretty big word, and only gets people even more angry - so I think the best thing would be to ignore this person.

We have a rule in our school that the students are not to have their cell phones turned on within the school facilities since they tended to record teachers in class or their mates fighting, etc. The consequence for having the phone turned on would be confiscating the phone and asking the parents to come and get it from the teacher.
Not long ago, i confiscated a phone and the boy�s father flew to the school the next day with a bone to pick with me. He addressed me with a very uncivilised and unmannerly language that shocked me and made very angry, but i knew that if i followed his example, the argument would just escalate. I remained calm and with the sweetest voice told him,
"I understand that you�re angry about me taking your son�s phone, and i would like it sorted out just like you, but i must say first that i don�t like the tone you�re addressing me. If i respect you as the parent, you should respect me as ... "
"What age are you?" he growled impudently. (Btw, i look a lot younger than i really am, so he thought that i was still ... �green�  )
"Age does not matter in this case. It�s the teacher-parent relation. And the respect we should show each other."
Anyway, his anger subsided thanks to my tactics. In the end he even apologised and asked me not to avenge on his kid. (That�s because things like that happen.)
If it really got to you, you should have asked the person what he/she meant by �bullshit� and make the person regret saying what he/she said. Or just choose to ignore it, if you don�t want to waste time with such people. In my case, I couldn�t ignore the parent.

I�m appalled.....
Your ws are AWESOME!
So don�t worry!
I agree with Lisa�s tactics (just ignore this very badly-behaved person).
Have a great evening (and thanks again for your great ws!!!!!!!  ) |
