Some school districts ban teacher-rating Web site

The Detriot Free Press reports:

Most people have no trouble recalling a favorite teacher or one they could have done without. Now a Web site that has gained a huge following -- and as many detractors -- is allowing students and parents to anonymously sound off about teachers and administrators.

Since the site, www.ratemyteachers.com, was launched in 2001, school districts across the country and around the world -- about 750 of them in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom -- have barred students from using the site while on school grounds, including many in metro Detroit, including Novi, St. Clair Shores, Troy, Wayne-Westland and Chippewa Valley.

You can see how public schools wouldn't want a consumer driven education system.With less information and debate,the easier it is to raise taxes.Heh,free speech isn't popular with everyone.
