----- Original Message ----- From: "maxinetz" <maxinetz@xxxxxxx> Subject: RE: The strike I also saw the interview with Professor Gottwein last night and I agree he was impressive; it helped to lift my flagging spirits to hear our cause validated by such an intelligent and articulate spokesman. However, I'm not sure he is right. If there is some kind of hidden agenda, a sinister conspiracy, to bring about the privatization of education in Israel, then why is the government espousing Ofek Chadash? With all its infuriating flaws and omissions, it is still an attempt to reform, and save, public education in this country.
