re:I understood the directives about oral bagrut testing the same way as Bari. I also believe our protests are feeble and in vain because they appear to be of little influence. If we really want to make a difference we need to take a lesson in strikes from other countries where unions know how to fight for the rights of teachers. Also perhaps it is time we organized ETAI as a federation of English teachers and affiliate ourselves with both unions. Dan The directives make no sense. Also, remember that 3 points are testing differently from 4/5. Which test is being discussed here?
