AFP: German teacher loses battle against pupils’ web rankings
AFP:
The website allows students to turn the tables on teachers by anonymously grading them in categories including “cool and funny”, “popular”, “motivated”, “relaxed” and “teaches well”.
Czubayko, a German teacher from the western state of North Rhine-Westphalia, had received an overall grade of 4.3, or a “D”. She had also lost her case before lower courts and appealed to the federal tribunal.
The German Teachers’ Association criticised the ruling.
“It is inexplicable that the BGH values the personal rights of teachers less than an anonymous assessment of teachers by students on the Internet,” Association president Josef Kraus said, referring to the federal court.
