Hi dear Zailda,
Thank you for your words. Anyway, I’m a teacher and I know my duty towards my work, my students, and my community. I don’t have time to waste on trivialities, but I feel I’m treated badly. I didn’t think of receiving such accuses and humiliations from Natachi. He didn’t think that he had gone beyond his limit and started telling about things without any justification.
Let’s have a look at his words:
“ this so-called teacher never ceases cribbing from others ´ works to get points to finally download worksheets for his awkward and failed classes.The low levels of Moroccan students in English testifies to this”
Who is she to talk about Moroccan students and my classes in such a way? Does he know my classes, my students, and the level of Moroccan students in English?
These are illusive and dogmatic stereotypes.
Another claim he used in his defence is the following:
“I can assure you Mr Tahriali that your abstract some day will be the subject of a presentation made by this Moroccan teacher”
Mr Tahriali from Tunisia sent his research abstract and I had some remarks about it and I sent him mine.
Let’s say that it can be true that a novice Moroccan teacher copied his article as he said. Is it just to warn Mr Tahriali that I will stole his abstract?
Is it fair to call other teachers in this website to vote against me without any reason?
Any way I am a member of this group of teachers and I am happy to be so.
I WILL NOT QUIT THIS WEBSITE AS FAR AS I AM A TEACHER. AND I WILL NOT STOP DEFENDING MY WS TILL I RECEIVE THE MODERATORS’ FAIR DECISION.
A threat from him before I let you see the proof:
“Never ever forget that you made a terrible mistake by removing my points.If you ´re a real teacher, don ´t send me PMs anymore, otherwise you ´ll regret it, got it?”
Now here is my evidence behind the decision of reporting Natachi’s ws which he copied from OUTLOOK . And below the pages from INSIGHTS INTO ENGLISH which he claims that my ws was copied from them; to your knowledge the two books are used in Moroccan high schools
Let me first present the content of his ws which you have of course:
