BTW, a friend got 2 such teachers in her school- neither lasted a month!!! (most of these hi-techs were probably miserable to their own hi school teachers so I hope they get what they deserve :):):) And not just us.... I managed to hear the tail end of a report (on Israel TV news) about Israeli math teachers..whose average age is 59 and the ministry can't figure out how to attract younger teachers, who "will succeed to improve Israeli students' math failures..as demonstratd by the low scores in the Meitzav" so why should we expect any diffferent!! (And who knows what is waiting for us with the "New Monister of Educ"..no, NOT a typo!!!! ) Shabbat Shalom jesg ----------------------------------------------- ** Etni homepage - http://www.etni.org or - http://www.etni.org.il ** ** for help - ask@xxxxxxxx ** ** to post to this list - etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** -----------------------------------------------
