Last year I spoke with our Civics teacher (ezrachut) who told us that there is (was at that time) a new program for their subject. The teachers who were teaching the subject had to take part in an in-service training course. However, he proceeded to tell us that they were being paid for doing the course. How this was done, i don't know. How much he received, I don't know. I didn't think to ask. Honestly, I was so taken aback when he told us this. Has anyone else heard this information from another ezrachut teacher to verify? And, If so, why is it okay to remunerate in-service course participants in one new area of study and not for another? Hoping to hear good news.
