I also support this campaign. It �s not fair that someone takes advantage of our work like this. We all know how difficult it can be to make worksheets.
Best wishes,
Raquel

I agree with you ng1972.
I am very sorry that this happened in my country, too. but this doesn �t mean that these kinds of things are only happening in Turkey.
So
HOLYMARY 852, please be careful about what you are writing. I don �t know where you are from but be sure that
there are also thives in your country.
So please say sorry to all Turkish and Baghdaad teachers who aren �t thieves ( like me and others).
And just more thing there is no need to generalise it just by looking at one example.
Thanks.

I agree with Turkish colleagues. There are thieves all over the world.
It �s unfair for all these teachers from Turkey.
BEST WISHES

People should remember that whenever one does something it reflects on his/her community as a whole. It is not fair, but it is life. I am quite sure that HolyMary did not mean to hurt or offend anyone, but this thievery of worksheets is beginning to pall on all of us hardworking teachers.
I would be the last one to point a finger, but I honestly think that we should look carefully at the countries where the majority of the stolen worksheets are being uploaded from. There does seem to be a trend.
I don �t believe in generalization, and I am quite sure that there are many good teachers in Turkey, as well as Baghdad. BTW, I have noticed that many of the worksheets I download are from Turkey. It seems that the English studies there are quite similar to the English studies here.

�We read stories about �Baghdaad ka chor � which means "A thief from Baghdad" in our childhood, and now we have this "Turkey ka chor �. I don �t think thieves have conscience. May God damn them. My New Year Wishes for all my dear teachers and curses for the thieves like the one from Turkey. �
This is what Hollymary wrote. I �m really sorry that she generalized this issue. And I don �t think she didn �t mean hurt anyone. And still I haven �t received any answer from her..
And last thing I �m really sorry that this issue comes up a nation or a country issue.

This is what is wrong with the world. We easily brand a group of people with a stereotype just because one or a few people from there did something wrong. For God Sake it is not a Turkish problem, it is the action of an individual and we as teachers should know better not to stereotype others.
The focus of this discussion is that a despicable individual who happens to be from Turkey stole teachers � works. |

I totally agree with Kisito; we shouldn �t generalise and tend to treat an entire nation with suspicion just because one individual did something bad. Perhaps this thing (stealing materials and publishing them) has happened in other countries as well, but it hasn �t been discovered or if it was, it hasn �t been reported yet.
I am against thefts of all kinds, but on the other hand, let �s not generalise it. If this had happened in Brasil/ Spain/ Romania/ China/ UK, would you have regarded all these entire nations as thieves?...
May you have a Happy New Year and let �s hope that 2010 will bring us only nice topics here on the forum  |

Well said, Kisito.
And I would like to thank all Turkish teachers because they are helping me a lot with this campaign. |
