I thought at first it was the same class mistakenly posting here but the profiles say different places -unless they chose to... no offence to any posters but...something is amiss surely?
Some spammers got a hold of the lounge 
I'm skeptical. I recognize that immaturity as legitimate student responses.
They keep referring to Mr. Cook (http://moodle.org/user/view.php?id=835101&course=55) from Stone Ridge.
I'm thinking Stone Ridge, NY.

If you look at the map, you will see a lot of the students are from nearby towns.
Perhaps a prep school of some sort?

I think Frances says in another post she's emailed the headmaster to ask them politely to desist 
It's almost entertaining now; I'm half tempted to join in!

I called the teacher, David Cook, at Rondout High School.
He mistook Moodle.org for an online service, had all of his students create accounts, and they are to discuss topics here in this forum.
Frances will have to delete the posts, which may keep coming in because these students have been sent home with an assignment for the weekend!
I am emailing David links to services such as Ning where his students can continue their discussion.

Oh dear; how unfortunate
Well at least we know they are doing their homework

Well, that's debatable!
Thanks for that Patrick. As I say in the other post, I haven't deleted them - just moved them elsewhere. I don't mind if they do their assignment there (just this once!) and it could be a really interesting discussion.
hi there. i am one of the more intelligent students in mr cook's honors global class, even though my username doesnt sound too smart (my partner created that). as you could probably tell, we had some fun with the assignment that he gave us, but certain individuals began to take advantage of this and began posting pictures of poodles and cats with bazookas under the topic of pancho villa. we're sorry if any of this offended you or caused any issues with email overload. it hopefully wont happen again.
sincerely,

Hi Dianna. Thanks for your message. It's ok - I am a teacher in England so I know what it's like - I get some strange pictures on my school Moodle too As I understand it, your classmates will be moving to somewhere different to post their assignments soon.
