Instead of slamming Nina, we should all be supporting her.

We are caught in the middle between the ministry that doesn't seem to care 
about our views and the union that is trying to support us. So here comes 
Nina and is brave enough to make a stand. No, she is NOT lying. She has made 
it perfectly clear what she will test and has told her students and us what 
she will do. Perhaps her mistake was to use the word "doctoring", but she 
explained what she meant. There is no need to leap on her because of that 
one word, that was not the spirit of what she intends to do.

It's because most of us (at least according to what is being posted on ETNI) 
are too afraid to stand up for our rights, that we feel that we can assuage 
our consciences by attacking Nina. Since there is, as well, quite a bit of 
intimidation, I'm not surprised that more teachers don't stand up for her 
and her views.

I don't know in whose interest it is to move the discussion away from the 
issue and to instead concentrate on what Nina said. It's time we stood up 
for what we believe in and not get carried away by a lot of hot air.
