I decided to take a look into the website TeachersPayTeachers.com. So what exactly is it? TeachersPayTeachers.com is an online marketplace for teachers. The sites purpose is for teachers to buy and sell lesson plans, activities, tests, and quizzes and so on to other teachers. Interestingly enough the site is actually pretty dedicated to preventing copyright infringement. The first thing I did when I got to the website was go to the ‘about’ section because the name of the site sounded shady. After reading what the site is exactly all about I preceded to find the section about the copyright policy and the commitment to respect intellectual property. Even though there is a copyright policy and it is promised that intellectual property will be respected, I have an ethical issue with the selling of tests and quizzes. If teachers are actually buying quizzes, tests off this site and then preaching to their students not to plagiarize when they’re essentially doing the same thing. Would a teacher by okay with a student buying an already written essay online? I think not! I believe that the creators of this website were looking for an easy way to make money off of teachers that think that they don’t have time to make a lesson plan, test or whatever it is that they want to buy. Also teachers are not truly doing their job if they’re doing this, instead they’re taking the easy way out because their job is to create their own challenging ways of teaching. Plus it’s a teacher’s responsibility to test students on the material they teach and typically the material the specific school wants to be taught has already been decided by someone higher in rank therefore, no test that is bought will suffice. With all of this being said I ethically do not approve of the site. When it comes to the legal aspect I think it has covered all the ground it has to, to protect itself.
