Educational Communications Who's Who Among America's Teachers Bogus Nomination Methods for Who's Who Ripoff Austin Texas

Unethical methods for supposedly nominating teachers for their Who's Who Among America's Teachers. They are in the business of making money and want to sell their books.

They use a marketing ploy of "nominator has requested they be anonymous" to trick you into thinking you have been nominated legitimately. They are not an honest organization. No one did nominate me, even though they sent me a letter flattering me indicating that I had been nominated.

They said: "All teacher nominations come from former students, colleagues, or educational organizations/associations. If a nominator was not printed on your letter, it means the nominator has requested they be anonymous. We are, then, unable to release the name by request of the nominator."

I replied back, "I am an elementary school teacher, and I have not been teaching long enough for any of my former students to be old enough to have nominated me. This is because a student can only nominate a teacher if they were in your Who's Who Among America's High School Students book.

Similarly, I do not have any colleagues or related educational organizations that are familiar with your organization.

Therefore, I submit that you are using your "nominator has requested they be anonymous" phrase as a marketing ploy. If you are an honest organization, you could find out if, in fact, a legitimate person truly did nominate me. As you stated, you are a for-profit organization. Obviously, you are in the business of making money, and are not concerned with the ethics behind your supposed "nominations".
