These Comments Won’t Make It Onto ISR<\/h1>\n

There are many ways to get your point across, some more tactful than others. I think we’ll all agree that whatever your point or approach, examples & elaboration always add credibility & utility to any statement. After all, in the absence of these elements we are left with simple name calling, which does little to enhance a School or Admin Review. Additionally, ISR does not review teachers.<\/strong> Reviews that attempt to belittle, discredit or demean previous posters will not post.\u00a0 Here are some examples of rejected comments:<\/p>\n

\u2192 Too many illegal activities to list…\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2192 The English teacher who was fired for flirting probably wrote those nasty comments…<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2192 They cheated me. These people are a bunch of crooks. Stay away!<\/span> (Note: This is the entire Review)<\/p>\n

\u2192 The owner is in the mafia, or has a mafia ‘friend’. He has NO moral fiber…<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2192 The PE teacher probably wrote those comments. He did a runner…<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2192 This is the lowest-end international school. Run as fast as you can from this school.
\n<\/span>(Note: This is the entire Review)<\/p>\n

\u2192 The board is made up of a bunch of housewives with two brain cells between them<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2192 STAY AWAY!!! Over the past 4 years there have been many questionable & shady decisions made by upper administration.<\/span> (Note: This is the entire Review)<\/p>\n

\u2192 He hires mostly young women because he is looking for a good-looking wife…<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Without a doubt, some teachers have had incredibly trying times at their schools & sharing experiences with colleagues via ISR helps other educators make informed career decisions. But without collaborative information & examples provided, comments have little value to ISR Members.<\/p>\n

Yelp & other well-known product\/services review sites have adopted a policy of not posting baseless comments which hinge on a customer simply venting their frustration. When submitting a School Review, ISR recommends authors consider what value their comments will have for potential job-seeking colleagues. We suggest teachers avoid the following:<\/p>\n

\u2192 ‘He said–she said’ sequels & soap opera reporting that delves into relationships, conversations & motivations to which one is not privy<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2192 Inflammatory comments, an overtone of venting, revenge &\/or character attack<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2192 Broad, sweeping generalizations with nothing sited to back them up. For Example: everyone hates him \/ he has absolutely no qualifications.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2192 A focus on character traits & personality flaws outside the school environment<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2192 Discussions of administrators’ children (no matter what age) and or spouse, specific parents or specific children.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
