Fruma, the Meitzav results reflect on the SCHOOL, not on the ministry! And if everyone does badly, it means that the TEACHERS are at fault, not the ministry. Never the ministry. Shavua tov Judy ----- Original Message ----- From: Fruma Cohen To: English teachers Network of Israel Sent: Saturday, February 21, 2009 7:54 PM Subject: [etni] Meitzav To Hadas Y and all others who prepare students for the Meitzav test: WHY??? I firmly believe that this should be a true reflection of what education students are getting in their overcrowded classes with cut back hours and overtired (but super dedicated) and almost burnt out underpaid and underappreciated teachers . Let the Ministry see the real picture and wake up and smell the coffee. There's a reason new teachers are non existent!! There's a reason our national test scores are going down annually. As we said last year during the strike: çéðåê æåì òåìä áéå÷ø Just wait and they will be forced to finally see the truth!
