"The Israel Teacher Corps Sends Young English Teachers to the Poorest Towns The Jewish Daily Forward - August 12, 2009" I have taught in a school where these young teachers have been placed. Because they knew no Hebrew, and were dealing with very weak students, they could not explain even the basic texts (forget Grammar). The students said they spent most of the time teaching the teacher Hebrew. It was a lot of fun but very frustrating, especially as they were supposed to be grateful for the extra 'help'.
