As an overworked and underpaid bagrut teacher who is hoping to become a marker next year perhaps, I implore you to stick to your guns if you feel that the ministry is making unreasonable demands of you. Pupils (including my own daughter BTW) can wait a bit to find out their results (which anyway won't be available before "Moed Bet". This is one area where teachers do have clout. I mean, what is the ministry going to do -- bring in Thai workers to check the exams? Please don't give up your rightful struggle. We are all behind you. Has anyone thought of beinging it to the attention of the press?
