Dear troll,

Dear Chris,
I'm afraid it's not your place to censor opinions you find disgraceful. Our professors' section is probably one of the least developed in our Wiki, but in essence it is similar to such sites as RateMyProfessors.com, with only Academy opinions included. I'm terribly sorry that their sites aren't Wikis so you are unable to vandalize them as well, but no matter whether you find our opinions distasteful, inaccurate, or disgraceful, I must reiterate this point: It is not your place to censor them.

In response to this website, why do you feel it's perfectly ethical of you and the rest of the students to describe the professors' personalities?  As if you any of you really know them personally. ''For example:  For Matt Johnson - visit him in his office if you like hippie, leftist type people...He has an attractive wife and a kid that tends to get sick a lot.''  What does the appearance of his wife have to do with his teaching ability?  ''Or Brian Haile - As a person, he really is a good guy. He's a family guy, which is always admirable in a person''  Again, how does this relate to the way he performs in the workplace?
  
Furthermore, our opinions of the professors' personalities are quite relevant to the target audience of this Wiki, which happens to be incoming and current Academy students who wish to know more about the Academy, the University, and the professors they are going to have. I'll agree that appearance isn't particularly relevant, but unless it was presented as a fact (and is not true), and not an opinion, our policy is to allow students almost total freedom of expression. Note that this does not include the right to delete the opinions of others.

Would you like it if I started a website that described Academy students' personalities & appearances?  Think about that.
 
 
We have taken pains to ensure that opinions were clearly marked as such, and in the case of an exception you could, instead of deleting everything, spend your time indicating that they are opinions. If you have a specific complaint about the content of a page, the corresponding discussion page is the appropriate place to file these complaints. It is obvious, however, that you are not interested in raising the tone of the Wiki or ensuring that all information is factual. You are a troll, and apparently a childish one that is incapable of seeing viewpoints with which he disagrees without attempting to remove them. I recommend that you grow up and realize that you don't have a right not to be offended.
 
 
 
Hope your day is going well. I'm sure we'll hear from you again. But since you seem at least somewhat inclined towards conversation, may I ask what interest you have in this matter?

List of professors often encountered by Missouri Academy students, organized by department.

When making a new professor page, follow the Professor template. This structure is imposed to prevent opinions from being masked as objective descriptions, and to make sure that essential information like what classes the professor teaches is actually included. We've had trouble with this.

Biology

Chemistry

Communication

Computer Science

English

Government

History

Mathematics

Physics

Modern Languages

Art
