I do not want to wrong a colleague.

I do not want to wrong a colleague.
 
I do not want to wrong a dear colleague but I had a little bit of an argument tonight(in Pms) with one re the subject of the advertising our own worksheets. I had understood that we are not supposed to do that. We disagreed. If I am wrong please tell me as I would like to apologise to them for any upset that I have caused. Caroline�Confused

Ps. As you will see from my final text below I have made a bad mistake and I will have to be more careful. So sorry.

You are not wrong dear caroline! Much on the contrary! We should not advertise our own worksheets. That is both unprofessional and unethical!
 
Have a good night.

Caroline,
I was actually debating if I should post a new thread about that.
While there is no rule about advertising our worksheet, imagine if all of us did that. 
I don �t mean to be rude but when people post a thread asking members to check and comment, I feel it �s still advertisement. I refuse to download advertised printables.
I �m quite capable to decide what is good or not for my students. I don �t need anyone to tell me.

I see it as a matter of good sense, which lacks in some people. All worksheets are advertised in a proper place in the site, so, if all of us had good sense, there would be no need to warn anyone that it is not really polite to advertise one �s own work, specially in a place which is not appropriated. ANyway, fortunately I see it happening only sometimes, otherwise, I wouldn �t read the forum anymore. Good evening to everyone and that �s just my point of view.Wink

I have spoken to my colleague since. I have made a dreadful mistake. She was talking about advertising in PMs which is a totally different matter" . She meant "advertising" by telling colleagues who had requested her to let them know by PM when she had uploaded a new work. I am so sorry for making this dreadful mistake. I hope this post serves as an apology to my colleague.Caroline.Unhappy
