Actually Val, I don �t care your voting it as spam. I knew it would probably be so when i posted it this morning. TEACHING!! What is teaching about? You don �t teach in a void. Maybe this is not politically correct! However This is a good example of what teaching can be ! A careful and respectful debate, discussion, exchanging opinions , giviing different points of view, about an attempt to a more human world. I don �t know you either Val . I Have been a member here for a long time and have always fought for more justice and comprehension on this forum and in real life too. . This is what other older members could tell you about me! Have a nice week end too. |

Actually tbh I found that gesture a bit mawkish, but all sorts of people have got emotional wounds as well as physical, so they can be excused .... Anyway, I can see that clip being quite useful as a teaching resource in current events, PHSE and citizenship classes, so I couldn �t possibly consider it spam. Mariethe, you are fantastic and you don �t need any references from anybody! Your other recent posts have been spot-on, too. Have a great weekend, Lynne PS. That really is me with my black cat.

...When people / countries are NOT at war, dear colleague. But today, some are, sadly....As Giorgi wrote : a coin has two sides. Many people have been hurt - from everywhere & whatever their culture/religion. I do think this is not the place, nor the time to post our views .. I �m sure you are a kind person...I feel some might get tired ; I hope I �m clear enough ( sorry ; it �s been a hard day �s work..) : I think I �d be fed up if people kept posting about Roman Catholics. ... This is what I wouldn �t like here : people talking about religion - as what has happened has NOTHING to do with religion. I seem not to know the site as well as you do, but I read there is the teachers � cafe, maybe ..? Again, nice weekend, Val |

Harmless video� ( for you... )- taken in Paris ,�in front of journalists from all over the world - ...& posted on the net. Hum. How to be famous dot com. ( We are teachers, we all know that, don �t we ? Aren �t we supposed to "decode" the media ?) OK. You want to drop the subject, but you started it. ;-))�
PS : you said it"s nice to discuss things , & exchange. I agree with you - except for this one ...- Isn�t it what we are doing ???

Agree, Jos� � and I �m sure that�s all that Mariethe intended. As of writing, eight people for some reason have hit the�This is spam� link. People may disagree with the post, but spam? �\_㋡_/� I despair, I really do...
It�s possibly time to get rid of this much-abused option, but for those who are unclear on what spam actually is, this is as good a description as you�ll get of that particular beast known as forum spam :

I thought ( I was wrong ...obviously...) discussions were possible here . Mariethe House has said so, &I believe her. I �m sad to see it is not... If you speak of � abused options � when people say what they think � ...Well, I �m off. Mariethe & I have NEVER been rude, we have JUST exchanged�different ideas. Well,�to my point of view. I respect her. ( no need to say ! ) � This is not the idea of democracy I have in mind. But ... it doesn�t seem to be yours, & I �m telling you you are being rude. Are people who do not agree with you�going to be�told off & get� what I �d NEVER �say to my students ??? If you find there is a � much- abused option �...I feel sorry for you. Val� � �

There have been some desperate comments, I guess, since yesterday, � This explains why the majority of the users voted this thread as appropriate or "not spam", � It also �gives more explanation why the world is in despair :) � Personally, I would rather see a a spam selling bags and watches than this politically loaded video of a man posing in front of cameras. � But it �s just me and 8 other users and we are the minority, which is a shame, indeed. � That �s all from me.�
