Dear Etniers:

Judy Steiner made clear today in a meeting that the decision about going 
ahead with the oral testing as usual (meaning that even students who don't 
have projects as a result of teacher sanctions will get a zero in that part 
of the exam) was a decision apparently made higher up.

Thus, our protest should be directed to  Gideon Saar and Dr. Shoshani. (my 
words - not Judy's)

I have posted a Hebrew letter which you should be able to download by 
clicking the following link:
http://schools.amit.org.il/teacher/web/project/project.asp?codeclient=1527&codesubweb=6526&id=21258&Modul=40

When you click on the link, you'll get a page with the fax numbers of Gideon 
Saar and Dr. Shoshani. You'll also see in the lower left "attached files" 
with a little Word icon next to "protest letter".

You can print out the letter, add your address at the beginning, sign at the 
end, and then fax.

I urge teachers to send in this letter of protest. It is true that in many 
schools where teachers are on sanction, students will be coming in with 
projects (for many reasons... some schools did projects in 10th grade - 
other teachers are implementing the sanctions on a partial basis, etc.) 
However, there might be schools where students don't have projects due to 
sanctions, and they shouldn't be punished. Besides, there is a principal at 
stake here. The Ministry should not fight teacher sanctions by penalizing 
their students. Furthermore, this letter is a good way to raise the issue of 
g'mul for doing projects. (It makes mention of the Civics teacher's 
project).

Yours,
Sharon Tzur
