======================================
| Purpose of the EDUCATOR conference |
======================================
The EDUCATOR conference is an electronic meeting place where
Educators from around the world can gather to discuss issues
related to their profession.
(This area is NOT a complaint forum for the general public on the sad
state of education. Non-professional educators should refrain from
critical remarks on the length of teachers' work schedules, their
motivation and dedication, their reasons for choosing their profession
and the like. Such remarks are non-productive and off-topic. Similarly,
comparisons between professions attempting to show teachers do no more
or no less than persons in other professions are off-topic.)
===========================================================
| GUIDELINES for participation in the EDUCATOR Conference |
===========================================================
1. TREAT OTHERS WITH RESPECT. Do not engage in name calling or "flaming"
with other individuals. Likewise, insults against groups or professions
will not be tolerated. If discussion does not lead you to agree with
others, politely agree to disagree. If a message makes you mad, either
do not reply, or wait a day or two to reply until you have "cooled off".
2. WRITE MESSAGES OF GENERAL INTEREST. Observe the purpose of this echo
and do not post "off-topic" messages (see below). Off-topic responses
should be handled in netmail. Use local echoes on your BBS for personal
exchanges. This is an international conference. Persons in Australia
do not care about your meeting in NY.
3. BE BRIEF. Quote just enough of the message to which you are replying
to remind others of the context of your reply. Do not repeat yourself
in multiple messages. Do not post LONG texts from other sources (more
than 3 or 4 pages). If unsure, check with the Moderator before posting.
Enter only a few messages each day.
4. IGNORE INAPPROPRIATE MESSAGES. Let the Moderator and Sysops do their
job. Do not respond to such posts nor discuss them in the conference.
You may send netmail or e-mail to the Moderator or bring it to your
Sysop's attention.
5. TAKE DIRECTION FROM THE MODERATOR GRACEFULLY, whether it occurs in
private netmail or in the conference. It is no big deal and there is no
need to discuss it. Just get back on track so we can all enjoy this forum.
OFF-TOPIC SUBJECTS. DO NOT DISCUSS THESE IN THIS AREA:
=======================================================
Creationism vs. Evolution, Politics (except as they pertain DIRECTLY to
the school system), Religion, Separation of Church & State,
Homeschooling. There are other appropriate conferences for these topics.
In conclusion, please enjoy participating here. Take what you can
learn from the echo. Contribute with a mind towards being informative
and constructive. And if I can be of any help, let me know.
