This is not note about the literature program. This is a missive
regarding ETNI etiquette and common courtesy. I believe that I was not
the only teacher who was highly insulted by Hdar Yashar's scathing
comments:

"Unfortunately, I believe that what you describe is not a "fault" of
the program but of the teachers.  There's a distinct difference
between a good teacher and great teacher.  And with or without this
program, literature is either taught well and with passion or not.
Clearly, your students do not have great teachers."

Who, pray tell allowed you to view our classrooms via their crystal
ball? How dare you judge a large group of outstanding educators as
'wanting' merely for the fact that they disagree with you and the
Ministry's opinion!!

I believe that common courtesy demands we keep our comments here on
ENTI related to facts and politely aired opinions sans mud-slinging at
other hard working teachers who hold dissimilar ideas to our own no
matter how dearly we hold them to our heart. I have NEVER judged
anyone poorly for being in favor of the HOTS program, and expect the
same common courtesy from others here!

I believe an apology is owed to a great many ETNI followers and I hope
it is forthcoming.
