This is an issue which should be addressed very seriously. All the Ofek
Hadashim and Dovratim will never succeed in improving the education in
Israel until something is done to deal with the lack of discipline that
exists in so many schools here. It's about time teachers stopped "brushing
the problem under the carpet" and stopped blaming themselves for their
pupils' bad behavior. If we want our pupils to learn we need to push for
reforms that force pupils to be responsible for their actions.

being accused of being a teacher who can't control the class. Teachers are
NOT animal trainers; a teacher should be able to give the lesson prepared,
without having to fight with toatally undisciplined classes, and with no
means at their disposal of dealing with unrully students. Even 20 children
in a class cannot be taught if they are allowed to do whatever they like.

FIFTH teacher this year!!!, because, in my students words "We don't let them
teach".
