teacher programs
well we had much the same issue regarding the HOTS and whilst Etai
would not pronounce they DID give us a forum by allowing the debate
which was held at the summer conference,allowing us to openly air the
issues on both sides.
I can see their point on wishing to remain neutral, however pretty
much every issue which we all care about is a Political issue. So
doesn't this mean that Etai is becoming redundant? After all, many
things we wish to discuss are not purely pedagogical any more.
