Many people have written me off list asking questions about payment for work done with LD pupils. For your information, here again is the link to the wording of the agreement that the Irgun signed with the Ministry. If you can, you really should read the whole thing, but if you're only interested in the part of LD, it's about a third of the way down (number 2, just above the 2nd table). The link (thank you Sara Gabai) is: http://cms.education.gov.il/EducationCMS/Units/Sherut/Chozrim/ChozreiSt/hozertashsat4_heskem_im_irdunhamorim.htm I have no authority to answer your questions, but I will be happy to collect them and try to bring them to the attention of Mr Erez. But the best thing for you to do is to contact the Irgun yourself (Sandy had a great idea - to submit a collective letter from all the teachers in your school - not only English) , preferably by fax so that you have a written record, and follow up with a phone call. NOW's the time, so that the Irgun can plan its strategy towards the opening of the new school year. telephones, faxes etc: (from http://www.irgun-hamorim.org.il/odot.asp?t=3&s=1) phone # of the irgun office 03-7106777 fax 03-5667704 ran's secretary - lilach - phone # 03-7106756 her email lilachm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ----------------------------------------------- ** Etni homepage - http://www.etni.org or - http://www.etni.org.il ** ** for help - ask@xxxxxxxx ** ** to post to this list - etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** -----------------------------------------------
