ratemyteachers.com explains the reason for my lack of posting…
Now that I teach at a middle school, I am a hapless “member” of the ratemyteachers.com community.
If you have never been to ratemyteachers.com, it’s a site where students can post anonymous comments about their teachers and professors. You can then search these comments by school or teacher and get the low down about educators; the good, the bad and the ugly.
For some, this may be a liability. For others, an asset. For me, it was an objective rating from some anonymous student (or parent) about my reason for not having posted to this blog in awhile.
Note the comment and emoticon below:
At least it’s accurate. More posts on this blog after I de-stress. Question: are you “featured” on ratemyteachers.com or know somone who is?

Oh, how funny! I would hate to be subjected to anonymous rating! Hopefully, it will never trickle down to private piano teachers!
This is the best argument I can think of for defending my decision to remain a teacher in elementary school – although, come to think of it, I haven’t checked ratemyteacher…. wait a minute, I’ll get back to you….
LOL’s… Would’t to be rated in such site. My students and their parents can always tell me their suggestions on how I can improve my teaching skills. Glad to have my own music teachers website where they can communicate with me.
Thanks for sharing!
