Australian Teachers Try To Shut Down Website {news from slashdot.com}

QUOTE
DeathElk writes "New South Wales teachers are attempting to have a website based in the United States closed down due to "defamatory" content. The site in question encourages students to rate teachers at their school, which obviously results in some colorful content. Now the story has hit the media, with some insightful quotes such as "The president of the NSW Secondary Principals Council, Jim McAlpine, said the Federal Government should block access to 'scurrilous American websites'."


laugh.gif schools should take this as a free way to tell how well they are doing and improve appropriatly.

I think any 'colorful content' should be moderated though.

I agree. If only we'd had something like this when I was in school.
