I am answering as a proud English Inspector and will try to make this short and 
sweet. It is perfectly OK to vent and to use ETNI for these purposes but 
PLEASE, lets get our facts right.

 

a. Dr. Judy Steiner is constantly fighting for her teachers to receive what is 
duely deserving as payment for HARD WORK. She obviously does this with the 
officials in the Ministry and has openly made herself heard on this issue at 
meetings in which the Irgun and R. Erez have attended.

 

b. The HOTS program has changed many a time BECAUSE of feedback from the field. 
If you have not been asked to give feedback, then maybe it is because you have 
not attended one of the many courses that have and are taking place. 

 

c. Lets get our facts totally in order - In 2003 the irgun agreed to the 
projects.  last year they started the sanctions without any negotiations... so 
much for the irgun..  



"In fact, as it became clear during the recent HOTS debate, one of the greatest 
teacher grievances was that the Inspectorate did not seem to be willing to 
consider valid concerns and/or objections about the program from the teachers 
in the field."                Batya 



"The sham is going on with this endless discussion about honesty. The 
dishonesty and manipulation seems to come from the Ministry of Education, not 
the teachers who have not done the projects because of sanctions."   Nita Reguer



 

Take care and all the best,
