--------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Rena Spolter <renaspolter@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: degree recognition horror stories To my dear fellow English teachers, I fail to see the point of sharing these stories. We have all experienced the incompetent side of many government departments in this country as well as others. We need to be aware of the negative effect of such emails both on new teachers and on each other. If we choose to remain English teachers, we can be most productive if we remain positive about as many aspects of it as possible. I am the last person to be overly optimistic about anything, but refraining from expressing the negative is critical for our collective and individual well-being. If there is something we can change, them we can be an incredibly powerful force as a group working together. Shabbat Shalom, Rena ************************************** ** Join ETNI on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/31737970668/ ** ETNI Blog and Poll http://ask-etni.blogspot.co.il/ ** Etni homepage - http://www.etni.org ** post to ETNI List - etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** help - ask@xxxxxxxx ***************************************
