Crimson Wife Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 While perusing Amazon reviews of Tony Wagner's recent book Creating Innovators, I noticed this one getting lots of negative votes from the anti-HS crowd. Would you mind taking a second and giving it a "helpful" vote? I don't know the reviewer and have nothing to gain from doing this, I'm just annoyed by the obnoxiousness of the first commenter's anti-HS rant. :thumbdown: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimson Wife Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 You aren't voting on whether or not you like the book being reviewed (I haven't read it yet as I just put a hold on it at my library), just that you think the review is a helpful one.

nmoira Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 "Lots," and "in force"? I see four "not helpful"s and one negative comment. What am I missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Wife Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 "Lots," and "in force"? I see four "not helpful"s and one negative comment. What am I missing? When I first saw the review, it was rated 0 helpful and 6 unhelpful while all the other reviews had all or nearly all helpful. It was buried down on the bottom of the page.

Slartibartfast Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 It seems more like homeschoolers have voted down reviews that were not in favor of homeschooling until they are not visible. I don't want to be a part of an angry mob without much of a reason. I don't see people voting to the contrary, it is just homeschoolers voting.
