Isn't it obvious by now that our sanctions are a joke? Either we strike, or give up. What is the point of some teachers going to hishtalmuyot, some doing projects, some not. Have we accomplished anything? I also enjoy doing projects, by the way. On the other hand, the idea of HOTS is what really bothers me. I teach literature in class, we enjoy it. Just like we don't have pupils write which grammar rules they use to write their compositions, they don't have to learn terminology which they have never been asked to learn in their mother tongue. ----------------------------------------------- ** The ETNI Rag ** http://www.etni.org/etnirag/ Much more than just a journal ** Etni homepage - http://www.etni.org or - http://www.etni.org.il ** ** for help - ask@xxxxxxxx ** ** to post to this list - etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** -----------------------------------------------
