The old website did look dated but it was extremely easy to navigate. Now it takes double the length to search up your school. The only positive about the new website is that the art looks nice...? The main feature of the website that got it so popular was comments in the reviews for teachers. This gave students and parents a voice and the opportunity to give their opinions on the teachers. Even though there was the extremely offensive and rude comments, as what every single website with the option to comment has, most comments genuinely had peoples feelings in them. It was helpful.
But how is the website now, after the redesign? Horrible. Everything, and I mean everything is gone. Those old records of teachers and reviews? Gone (Literally the old website had every teacher listed in my school, but now only 3 show up). The easy-to-navigate style the old website had? Gone. This is not the same ratemyteachers website. The new review system is extremely safe and inoffensive. People don't have a voice now, everything is censored, and some teachers can now relax knowing that their lackluster teaching cannot be called out on anymore. I sincerely hope they are happy now. This website is destroyed.
