[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Do you think it’s appropriate to have so many threads where parents bash teachers? I can’t imagine you think that this is a good contribution to your community?[/quote]

One of my pet peeves is posters who think I read every thread or even every post. I don't. Not even close. I might not even look at some forums for weeks. So, I don't know how many threads we have where parents bash teachers. I do know that I have removed many such threads and many such posts. I have also removed posts from teachers (or at least alleged teachers) that were pretty jerkish.

To be fair, this is your site. That response does sound like you are abdicating responsibility rather than trying to put in safeguards to prevent that behavior. Pet peeve or not, a lot of the negativity and resentment that exists in schools did start by people having pretty horrendous discussions on here. I’m curious if you think that’s something that helps our community at large. Or, if you just want the visits and clicks, which is fair for a capitalist venture. [/quote]

Jeff has said this many times before: if there's a post or a thread that is offensive or hateful, report it and he'll consider taking it down. But he can't remove threads he doesn't know about and he's not going to take down threads merely because you disagree with them.[/quote]
