I am sorry is this would sound like a stupid question but are we [teachers] supposed {the strikers} to keep is some kind of touch with our schools/ students/ principals and so on, or to be completely cut off {as I am} Thanks Paula -----Original Message----- From: etni-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:etni-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Barbara or Yaacov Ori Sent: Monday, November 26, 2007 11:41 AM To: etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [etni] Annapolis and the strike I know that a lot of us are feeling a bit down and frustrated after all these weeks of striking-especially with no real progress yet in the negotiations..and of course the picture of PM Olmert sitting and chatting with Jerry Seinfeld,,but not having a few minutes for 40,000 plus teachers,,well, it is upsetting,,BUT my spirits were lifted this morning when I saw the picture of the hall at Annapolis where the talks will be held and on the side wall the words "Don't Give Up the Ship" are engraved -because it actually reminded me more of our strike than anything else.. Hang in there fellow strikers! We are not going to let them sink our cause!! We have come this far,,we WILL SUCCEED!!
