German Media Report Examins Teacher's Fight Against Spickmich.de

AFP: A German teacher who had sued to shut down a website where pupils rank their instructors according to competence and “coolness” lost her battle in court Tuesday.



The Federal Supreme Court, Germany’s top civil tribunal, rejected the claim of the teacher, Astrid Czubayko-Reiss, that her right to privacy was violated by the site, spickmich.de, (loosely translated, checkmeout.de) where she received a mediocre rating from students.
