I feel sorry for Ariella Kopels and all others past, present, and future who feel attacked for stating their opinion on this forum. Personally I am sick and tired of it. I know teachers who will no longer post here because they cant stand the 'attitude' they get because they have written a point of view that may be contrary to the mainstream. This has been going on for ages and it really makes me angry. Re: Ariella's student voicing his opinion, I say: bravo! At least he cared enough to say something above and beyond the requirements of the program. Areilla, don't feel you have to defend your student's point of view - the hours we get to teach, the class cancellations. If others on this forum cant deal with the truth, I most respectfully say: "too bad." I for one, welcome hearing what's really going on in our classrooms. ************************************** ** 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 ***************************************
