This Email Should Convince You to Sell Me the Domain
2023-11-12
Hello,
It seems you've been holding on to the domain name for a while now and seem to continue holding, which I must say, I do respect you for that.
Obviously I'm assuming many people have offered you money for the site, but it seems that's not what you care about. I have a hunch that you keep the domain name just because you enjoy receiving emails like this from people giving you various reasons as to why they should have the site. But at this point, it's been 10+ years of you doing this, and I think it's about time you shirk your responsibility of this domain name and offload it to me.
I will not give you a list of reasons why MY website will be so amazing and whatnot. But what I do promise is that I will actually create a website out of this. Instead of letting it sit stagnate forever like a '98 Porsche 911 stuck in a garage, I will let it loose.
Best Regards.
Please, I beg you, do something with this site
2023-11-02
I have wanted to create this website for years. I think the absolute best way to do it would be by the students' NAMES along with their school. No identifying which course or which professor is making the post.
This would allow employers to see what they're getting into before hiring.

"RateMyStudents" Idea
2023-11-02
It would be cool to have this site dedicated to UPLIFTING and ELEVATING students but allowing educators to give some of their students a shining rating. In this world of complaining for optics, I think this approach would be awesome and many students might even consider taking on some of the attributes that the "rated" students were described as possessing.

I hope some day you are a teacher so that you know what it’s like to work your tail off for little money and then get anonymous one sided reviews from students (which have been proven to be sexist and racist), and understand how rotten it is that you are holding onto this website doing nothing with it.

RateMyStudents.com and it's future
2022-12-23
Hello,
Personally, I think it would be a cool idea to mirror this to ratemyteacher or ratemyprofessor and allow teachers to comment on students (maybe those who post reviews on them?). Or, something else that would be funny is if students rated other students, just if that was the case, make sure there’s a warning at the top not to take any of the reviews seriously because there might be some nasty ones. I understand you probably have better things to do, but if you thought these ideas sound cool, I have many incredibly skilled coder friends who could definitely make it work, maybe basing the code off rate my teachers. Just some ideas, but if you don’t want to do anything, i can understand, but I might be interested in a price for the domain (although I probably couldn’t afford it).
Happy holidays to you and those important to you!

Rate my students
2021-06-09
This site can be used for student personal assessment and evaluation of learning styles to help current and future professors teaching methodology.
Students would be free to provide self-ratings so that they can learn based on a classification system.
Your website. I have an idea:

Possible use for your domain
2019-12-04
Hi there,
Not sure if this email is still in use, but I randomly searched up ratemystudents.com and found your site and I think it could be legitimate. Students and professors could register with information like their names, a picture of themselves, and what school they go to/teach at and professors can rate the students at their schools in a few different categories.
It would be voluntary, depending entirely on whether students register for it or not, which would avoid most security or privacy issues.
Let me know what you think!
Cannot believe this
2019-04-23
On your website, you use a very hateful and offensive hashtag. “#NeverAgain” is an appropriation of a phrase used to refer to the holocaust. However, some ignorant fools took over that useful phrase to politicize it. It’s not that they don’t have a point, or that I don’t like their cause - rather, I find it incredibly hurtful how they have claimed that phrase. Please discontinue it’s use.
For your domain
2019-03-08
You should turn this into a spin-off of ratemyprofessor!
Would be funny and better than collecting dust haha
What You Can Do
2018-08-14
Well, you could make an almost exact replica of RateMyTeachers.com but with students instead. Teachers could rate their students anonymously. This was probably your original idea, but you just need motivation.
Does it still work?
2018-08-10
Does this email work?
A great idea for your domain RateMyStudents.com
2018-04-26
Hello and Good Afternoon,
I recently had what I would call a "great idea", although not original, in having a website that teacher, instructors, and professors could rate their students. Whether these ratings be based on anything from great academic achievement to procrastinators who had the audacity to ask for make-ups or extra credit, the possibilities are endless!
I stumbled upon your domain and believe it would be a great thing to do in terms of the idea and would like to offer if i could purchase the domain from you.
Thank You as I hope you will consider this proposition
Domain...
2008-12-24
Any interest in selling the domain? I don't have anything like significant funding, but a few of my colleagues and I could have some fun with it to scare our students!
Best Regards,
[Name redacted]
Idea
2008-11-30
I think you should turn it into "RateMyClassmates.com." Let students speak their minds anonymously about each other.
The domain: RateMyStudents.com
2008-11-03
I would love to see this site up and running. I think it should mirror the "ratemyprofessors" and "ratemyteachers" websites... but, it would be a place where teachers and college professors can write about their students just as easily, honestly, and anonymously as their students can write about them. Do you have plans for the domain?
Sell it to me!
2008-10-14
You can sell the domain for a profit the covers the cost that you spent to do nothing with it for 5-7 years.

2008-09-25
I think that you should set this site up so that teachers would be able to vent and talk about their students. They have ratemyteacher.com and ratemyprofessor.com and all of that. So you need to set something up where they can also say things about us. My mommie is a teacher. And I asked her and she said that she only thinks that would be fair to the teachers. Students get on teachers nerves also. I sub, so I understand!!!!! I'm in college to become a teacher. And it is only fair game!

(no subject)
2008-08-28
I don't know if you're still around, but I think this site ought to be a parody of http://ratemyprofessor.com. I just had a pretty bad semester and though I admit some of that is my fault, I really wish I could rate my students and tell them how bad they were as students (not naughty, just plain awful), but no luck - no outlet. Just a thought.
lol you are so funny
2008-08-23
What to do with site
2008-08-12
Hi,
I'm very tempted to say that you ought to model it after ratemyprofessors.com to make a point. It would create a good deal of controversy and there's no such thing as bad publicity! However, I suspect that professors would refrain from posting because they know that their comments could seriously hurt the careers of students. Not that the postings on ratemyprofessors can't hurt careers either, but the professor tends to play the bigger person. There are definitely a few students I would love to post about :) but wouldn't. :(
Take care,

The answer to Ratemyprofessor
2008-06-02
So, my colleagues and I have been talking about setting up a website like ratemyprofessor for students. We figure it would be a comical answer to the anonymous postings on ratemyprofessor. We could name students by name and rate them according to:
Attendance
Caliber of work
Participation
Integrity
Whining
Also, we thought we could do skunks instead of chili peppers. So a big slacker would get three skunks.
We've had great fun thinking about this.
This has probably been done before
2008-04-30
Teachers already talk about students to other teachers. Why not make it easier by putting it up on the website? That way parents can check to see how their kids are in class, other teachers can find out how future students are, and teachers who really try who get put down can put down the students that got back at them without affecting their grade. Harmless revenge is the best.

Recommendation
2007-12-19
Your website is the perfect opportunity for a "rebuttal" site to ratemyprofessors. If professors are public agents subject to open blogging, college students should be subjected to the same level of public, critical analysis.
Ratemystudents.com?
2007-11-08
I think you should make a website like ratemyteachers.com except that teachers can comment on their students.
(no subject)
2007-11-05
perhaps this site would best be used for teachers to share growing concerns about students as a whole rather than individuals. For example, each generation of students has its own issues. Perhaps those of us who hope to be quality teachers and reach even the most difficult students could not only have a place to vent our frustrations but to exchange ideas about things we find to help combat a lack of motivation, cheating, trying parents, etc.
For example, if a teacher needs to call home for the first time... or needs guidance on how to talk to a student about a particular issue (such as cheating)...
I would hate for this site to ever mention students by name. But along those lines, being anonymous would be important to protect posters from administrators, parents, and students.
Just a thought.

idea
2007-06-15
Hello,
I think that professors, teachers, instructors, and teaching assistants should band together and rate the personality types and pitiful performances and excuses they encounter among their students.
Obviously, students cannot be named. But those in the teaching professions could benefit from a forum in which to gripe about student personality types.
We could start with a section on the difference between reasons and excuses—all those legitimate (the former) and not-so-legitimate (the latter) statements given to justify missing quizzes, exams, homework, and the like.
Peace out,
[Initial redacted]
An idea
2007-06-08
You should turn ratemystudents.com into a blog on which teachers can rate their students after they do awful projects and assignments. We could take photos of them with our camera phones and then post them online and then mock them unmercilessly. I think that is what you should do with ratemystudents.com. Please, write back.
(no subject)
2007-05-22
You should make the site a lot like ratemyteachers.com. Where the students names appear and the teachers can rate the students on things like; Conduct, Respect, Work Ethics, Cooperative.

What to Do with Web Site
2007-05-15
Publish information pertaining to the compromise level of the students as well as that of the professors. Is such information really confidential, or much worse, sacrosanct????!!!!
Suggestion
2007-05-10
Create a site where TEACHERS can b$&%^ about students without being accountable for our comments, just like students can at ratemyteachers.com!
a teacher who's sick of it all!
RateMyStudents.com: Welcome
2007-05-04
Create a twin site to ratemyprofessors.com
At ratemyprofessors.com, college students give anonymous "ratings" of college professors. This is a joke, but way too many people take it seriously. It is the equivalent of writing "I hate Dr. X" on a bathroom wall.
At ratemystudents.com, you could offer college professors the chance to give anonymous ratings of students.

Hi.
What are you waiting for? You should make ratemystudents.com just like the ratemyprofessors.com only on this one all those tormented, abused professors could warn other teachers about the risks of trusting, adding, or otherwise trying to deal with trouble-making students. It would be a great place for professors to be warned of students who tend to cheat, plagiarize, or just exhaust all your time with threats and hassling over grades.

This could also be used to a students advantage to see what a teacher thinks about them.

Well, can you imagine a site that turns the tables on the students? Professors writing about which students THEY think are hot? Stupid? Lazy? Brilliant?
Nah. The whole premise is wrong. Students can choose profs. Profs can't choose students. And they generally have better things to than even think about students (that's one of the problems with higher ed!).
Hmmm. A satire site, a goof?
Nahh. It's just not that funny.
Do you realize that your site was last updated on 11-23? That's the beginning of the Fibonacci sequence. This must mean something. Maybe about rabbits. Or ... maybe not.
I wonder how many hits you do get.

How about creating a Rate My Students site that works exactly like the Rate My Professors site?
I've been waiting for such a site for a long time, and so have many others.
Ideas for your site
2006-12-14
I was hoping this would be a place where I could post information about students. I am talking about legitimate stuff, like
"Joe Shmo is a student at [Redacted] Community College. His grandmother died seven times this semester. He skipped a month of class and showed up at the last week, begging for extra credit. When he failed, he blamed me for his failure. Beware of this guy."
Or, on the other hand:
" Nancy Smith is a fabulous student. She is always prepared. You can use her homework as the answer key."
There is a need for a site like this. If the students can find out about the instructors before they sign up for the class, we should know what we are getting into before we walk into that classroom on the first day.

To whom it may concern,
Your website idea is very unoriginal but a great idea for teachers to have the opportunity to express themselves freely without any consequences. I think you should take the basic layout of ratemystudents.com and enrich it with better organization. It sounds difficult but possible. Just go to view and click on source, copy and paste it and cite it properly. Even if you do change the layout a bit make sure to give them credit!
Sincerely,

I am a hard grader, I hate tardiness, and I have enough Integrity not to change grades with a bribe. I am sure they will hate me. Oh well!

RATEMYSTUDENTS????????
2006-10-03
Are you really going to make a website where teachers
can rate students?? I hope you know that that's
illegal. Students (at least ones under 18) are minors,
and adults can't put stuff about minors on the
internet like that!!! Also, it's just plain wrong.
Teachers shouldn't be able to go on the internet and
bad-mouth their students. They're professionals, and
that would be horrible of them. They're supposed to
support and help students, not insult them on the
internet!!! I REALLY don't think you can make this
site, at least not without getting a LOT of complaints
from parents, students and teachers alike.
P.S. If that's not what this site
is going to be about, I'm sorry for this e-mail. If it
is, then I'm definitely not.

2006-09-19
so what *is* the deal! is ratemystudents coming? soon or never... i've been checking back for many months...
anyway, i would definitely post on the site. i'm a high school teacher. i'd love to be able to leave comments and even more--to read teacher feedback from previous years. i think it would help sometimes, especially with a particularly quiet, or even difficult, student. my district has moved toward an in-house system a little like this, with electronic grade recording and reporting (with a section for teacher comments), but i think one on the web would be great. (as i like ratemyteachers.com - and have even found some of the comments useful as i strive to hone my teaching techniques and skills!)
anyway, i thought you might respond and let me know what's up with the ratemystudents site.

I'm looking forward to seeing the site get going, anyway, and put up the fan-mail in the mean-time too! Finally delivering what was threatened, a website that names, shames and ridicules STUDENTS!! (and I'm a student myself!)

You've been rolling over the same message for years. Why not just give it up? Or sell it to somebody who can make it work. Jeesh.

It is real easy and will be done fast. If you are i was wondering if you need mods. I would really like it if I could be. Please send me a reply if you can.

I can't wait. I'm a teacher and I want a chance to talk back about problem students in my classes.
Hopefully, it will be anonymous enough for us to be honest.

I am writing from [name redacted], student newspaper at the University of [redacted]. I am interested in knowing if the website is still on track to open soon, and if there has been interest (from college professors) in using such a website.
Thanks for your help.

Please! Get this site started!
Parents and students can see how a student is viewed objectively as a student by those who have experienced hundreds or thousands of students.
Might help those whose view is only protective nesting to encourage their student to see what that student needs to improve in order to have traits that will allow them to succeed in a job or in college and then in a job.
There are students who are so frustrating because they practice behaviors that, if continued, will thwart their endeavors to maintain a job or to do well in a college class, yet they do not realize this and their parents are lobbying only for so-called “good grades” now, in high school, not caring that a good grade in high school put on the record by teachers harassed by the parent, instead of good grade earned by the student by actually learning (by practicing learning strategies) is counter-productive to the student’s future well-being.
The students who are the most frustrating: disruptive to the others’ learning, or insular (shutting out without showing evidence of being able to absorb information on their own), or passive (cooperating with class procedures and looking up answers but not thinking about new information) are frustrating because I feel so sorry for them: knowing that they COULD be practicing skills that would enable them to be successful at a job or college or then a job, but that they currently lack the incentive (either internal or applied by the parent) to practice them.
And it will be much more difficult to become facile in these skills later in life than it is an adolescent.
To reiterate: I feel the most sorry for those students whose parents adamantly shield them from current, more ephemeral, evaluations, to the detriment of future evaluations which will have results that are much more serious to that student.
Better to see the result of D effort in a high school course as being a D, which might get the self-esteem going enough to think and work enough raise this earning, than to see that the amount of effort required to earn a D will instead be recorded as a C or B due to the loud squawking of a parent. Why? Because that loud, squawking behavior of the parent will not make an iota of difference to an employer, who cares about: are you a person who can be relied upon to do the job by being here and thinking enough to execute the thinking and actions required to do the job.
can you send me a notcie when it gets back up?
