CANADA: A Winnipeg district has blocked access to a website inviting pupils to rate their teachers. Ratemyteachers.com has assessments of 47,834 teachers in more than 5,000 Canadian and US schools and is due in Britain next year. It asks pupils to give marks for “easiness”, “helpfulness” and “clarity”. Teachers are then rated “good”, “average”, “poor”, “popular”. Nancy David, of Ratemyteachers.com, said: “Kids have a right to make it known that a teacher is not doing his job.”
