Subject: Re: new ETNI Poll
I usually vote in the ETNI poll, but feel it would be hypocritical
this time. I wasn't teaching 20 years ago, and although I had
already moved to Israel I had nothing to do with anything
connected to the level of English here. I'm sure that I'm not
alone here, many of us are not graduates of the Israeli school
system (judging by the many 'foreign' names which appear on
ETNI ). Graduates of the system may have a difference
perspective on the standards when they were at school than
their teachers.
The idea of the poll is good, but I personally will only be
interested in the opinions of those teachers with 20+ years
experience (and they deserve a medal for bravery!). Maybe
the question can be rephrased?
