Thanks to all who wrote and said they would stay for a meeting. We are
about 18 people now, and of course more are welcome to join us.  The
meeting is planned to take place at Himmelfarb school (Where the ETAI
conference is taking place) on Tuesday, July 7th, at 16:30.

I have spoken to Nurit Valenci's secretary, and she is supposed to get
back to me by Sunday re Nurit's participation. I hope I have succeeded
in making clear to her how frustrated we are with the situation, and
how important it is that Nurit meet with us.

I will update as soon as there is anything new.

Subject: A meeting with the Irgun?
To: ETNI list <etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>


Some of us are worried about how Irgun Hamorim is handling the
problems of the high school English teachers.

1) How do we make sure that our 12th grade students, who take the oral
bagrut exam without having done projects in class, do not fail? The
Irgun has not given us an official answer. Some of us are not happy
with the unofficial answers that have been given.
And if there is a signed agreement between the Irgun and the MOE
regarding the projects, from when we started to work according to the
NBA - why are we not doing projects? We have not gotten a straight
answer from the Irgun if there is an agreement or not.
Maybe it was a mistake to connect the new problem of the literature
with the old problem of the projects.

2) What will happen in September regarding the new literature program?
We haven't taken the course, so will our students fail F and D? Ron
Erez has not mentioned the English teachers in the latest letters
posted on the Irgun site. So what is going on?

Some of us think it might be a good idea to have a Q and A session
with Nurit Valensi, the head of the Irgun "Professional Department",
to voice our concerns about these issues. The idea is to have it on
Tuesday, July 7th, AFTER the ETAI conference is over.

A meeting like this can not be part of conference, as ETAI is not
supposed to get involved with union affairs and can't be seen as
inviting representatives from particular teachers' unions to head
sessions at ETAI. But having the meeting right after the conference,
and at the same place, would hopefully allow many teachers to attend
and make ourselves heard.

 So - MAIN QUESTION - how many people (Irgun member high school
teachers) would stay for this meeting? If enough people are willing, I
will try to organize it (inviting Nutrit or some other Irgun
representative, and getting a room from the school where ETAI is
taking place.)

Please reply - to me or to the list - if you are willing to come to
this meeting.

                  Thanks,
                sara g
