Randi,
I think beginning teachers may have found this conference too
expensive. Why isn't ETAI at all subsidized by the Ministry?
At least, we should get something for transportation...
The other reason is of course young teachers/students often have young
school age kids on vacation. So maybe we need a day care facility/camp
at the conference?
