> not that I would care if I got a bad rating

Hmmm... Yes, a veteran teacher will have a thick skin. Has to. But when a potential promotion or a new job is in the picture, do you want to have to explain negative, unfair comments to anyone who googles your name?

We have already had a case at my school where two students posted a bogus Myspace web page in the name of history teacher. On that page, the teacher made lewd comments about teenage girls. Myspace took the page down after being contacted by a lawyer, but the boys said the page was satire and there was no way to legally punish them. At least, that's what the victim told me.

I wonder if that page made its way into archive.org. I hope not.

This sort of thing is more than anyone should have to tolerate, is it not?
