Madam, - In my opinion, the "Rate my Teachers" website is an excellent idea. It appears to be very well laid out, with a policy that any obscene, crude or potentially upsetting comments will be removed.
The site is simply a place where students can discuss the effectiveness of their teachers among people of their own age. Clever teachers would stop complaining that such a site exists, and instead use it to point out common flaws among teachers and to improve their own methods. - Yours, etc.,
