OK, I have no problem publishing my wages. 6032 gross to be precise.... I have a BA and a teachers certificate, 12 years vetek and a couple of gmulim. I teach misrat em-19 hours, of which 2 bagrut classes (yudbet and yudalef). If they indeed intend to pay those ex-hi tech people 9000 a month without simultaneously upgrading the salaries of experienced teachers with years of vetek and training, I am at a loss. I find it extremely insulting and incredibly stupid. ________________________________ From: Bari Nirenberg <bnirenberg@xxxxxxxxx> To: ask@xxxxxxxx Cc: Etni <etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, February 22, 2009 10:56:33 PM Subject: [etni] Re: Fw: new English teachers I have to ask this again -- are you all talking about how much you net or how much you gross? I'm fairly certain that the 9000 in question was gross salary. I'm in my 20th year with a full misrah and an MA and I gross well over NIS 9000.
