The Random Comments About Walter Mondale

Today a colleague told Mondale and me about this website. Apparently, kids from across this great land of ours are rating us teachers. I vaguely remember hearing about this awhile ago and then promptly forgot about it.

Of course, I immediately checked what my rating was (alas even the internet savvy kids don't know how to spell my name) and to see what comments were left about me. Only three people commented. The upper school teachers had many more comments than I did which makes sense considering that high school kids spend more time on the internet than elementary school kids.

I also checked what students had to say about one middle school teacher/ administator that made me laugh even though it isn't so nice.

This is what students had to say about him:

You know, he was okay. I did well with him and he taught me a lot. He was just a super nerd.

he's actually a really good math teacher, BUT takes homework way too seriously, and SCREAMS at certain people (mostly guys) he has those funny dancing eyebrows

ugh

unkind unclear unhelpful definitely not cool

always sends my rents emails about mssing wrk

But the best part of the whole thing is that it lists the date that each comment was left. Why wasn't I surprised that the comment "One of the Best teachers at the school" about Mondale was made today. Hmmmm.... he hears about the site this morning and by this evening, a wonderful comment about him is made. I wonder who could have made that comment ...
