The Dovrat Report does not give principals the right to fire teachers if
doing so would be against the law. They would not be able to fire pregnant
teachers, for example, and neither would they be able to fire a teacher who
wanted to strike with her union. The change was that it would be possible to
fire teachers who are incompetent (or for whatever reasons workers in other
sectors are fired), while at the moment teachers cannot be fired at all.
If the Dovrat Report has some flaws, even many flaws, that was not a good
reason for the Irgun to reject it out of hand. And certainly not for the
reasion that there isn't money to implement it. For that there are
negotiations.
