**rhapsody_75** · 20 May 2003, 1:02 PM

yea english in particular. most of our teachers seem to like it and suggest this site, although most of the girls in my grade dont seem to hear/care --?!

**lillaila** · 31 May 2003, 12:48 AM

My teacher comes here all the time, in fact shes prolly here now!

**MiuMiu** · 31 May 2003, 12:28 PM

**lillaila** · 1 Jun 2003, 12:41 AM

**Toodulu** · 1 Jun 2003, 1:45 AM

hmm, this substitute teacher told me to not take this site too seriously coz it's ran by a bunch of kids.

**MiuMiu** · 1 Jun 2003, 9:43 AM

Well, you can take the site seriously, if you want ... We're not really gaining from helpin' you people, you know?!

Btw, a random fact ... the average ... UAI for last year ... in this forum was (well) over 90!

I wonder what the substitute teacher managed ... And the people who run the site, or at least the forum ... well, had much higher results (on average)!

awww... u guys are making a way too big a deal out of the substitute thing. he was really nice. not the best teacher i'll admit though...

i guess it was coz he was a uni prof and wasn't really familiar with the hsc syllabus and stuff.

That, my friend, is what you call an 'ad hominem' - evaluating the worth of something based on subjective and personal considerations instead of appealing to objective logic and reason.

Of course, his line of reasoning makes complete sense. The notes we host on this site (which weren't written by us) are clearly not nearly as good as they would be if they were hosted by 'adults'.

**Rahul** · 3 Jun 2003, 8:36 PM

notes arent the only thing....these forums can be really helpful!

i like the fact everyone picked up the fact that it was a substitute teacher

**EvilIsAnArtForm** · 17 Jun 2003, 1:35 PM

lol yeah...but seriously this site is helpful...not only in work related stuff...but to be able to talk to ppl going through the same thing....my chem teacher gets this funny look when we talk about the site

**crazybrad** · 17 Jun 2003, 8:18 PM

this site is the bomb. it lets me vent anger

**fatmuscle** · 18 Jun 2003, 12:24 AM

fear leads to anger
anger leads to hate
hate leads to death

i sense much fear in you

To put things simply:

Teachers would like the idea of students sharing resources and ideas. This includes sharing assessment tasks and examp papers.

Teachers do not like the idea of students taking someones work from this site and submiting it as their own for assessment.

This site means more work for teachers in that they need to check one more place to see if work has been plagiarised. It is balance by the fact that if they are smart they can use the resources just the same as the students - I will assume that they would give due credit tho

**fatmuscle** · 21 Jun 2003, 6:36 PM

so is that what the teacher thinks?
or what yuo think the teacher is thinking?

**s2ophie** · 7 Jul 2003, 4:56 PM

As far as i kno not many of my teachers know of this site. However a friend did mention it to one teacher. I don't think there is many ppl from my school here. I think they are too busy pretending to be cool!

**braindrainedAsh** · 7 Jul 2003, 11:16 PM

Excuse me Soph.... I am cool.

**fatmuscle** · 20 Jul 2003, 5:03 PM

people fromt he riverena

***~Dazed~*** · 31 Jul 2003, 2:49 PM

same sophie... i dont think there is anyone here from my school.. i know people do go onto the main site for notes and shit but i dont think any of my grade would dare come on the forums... or they are like me and just dont say anything about it thinking no one else comes

**hipsta_jess** · 15 Aug 2003, 4:44 PM

my teachers like it (well, the ones that are computer literate and know about it

but they said just be careful that people aren't just publishing crap to confuse us, but yeah, they think it is really good coz we can get other peoples spin on stuff that we don't know or go to school with, so their prob being taught heaps differently..so, yeah, they like it
