I refuse to get bogged down in another discussion of the new literature
bagrut, but what I WILL say is that from what I can see an awful lot of
people are kicking up a terrible storm around something that they either
know nothing about OR have heard only second hand, half-baked ("half-baked"
because anyone who is taking the course THIS year is still ONLY in the
middle of it) reports.
 

Those who REALLY want to know, have signed up for a course and will learn
everything they need to.

Is the program perfect? Of course not! It is only the beginning, following a
pilot that was done under difficult conditions (started late because of
teachers' strike, therefore forced to be split over two years - with
problems of teachers changing, loosing momentum over the summer, then
truncated in the south, anyway, by the war) yet has come out with some
interesting and encouraging results. 

 

Bottom line: 

1.       it will put literature back on the map

2.       it is more interesting and motivating than "another unseen"

3.       we CAN all benefit from it.. If we open our minds long enough to
learn about it, and help improve and perfect it rather than going in kicking
and screaming.

 

Again now, as with the last spate of emails flying around out there - a LOT
is based on dis/mis/lack of information.  It just seems a shame to me that
rather than put our energies into bettering our teaching programs, people
are putting their energy into opposing that which they do not understand.
