Nina,
'Tis not I who is calling you a liar or slinging any mud. YOU are the one
who announced proudly on this list that you would be " doctoring" grades
(aka: LYING) and encouraged others to join you. What _I_ cannot fathom is
how you can believe that following the directive of a wayward and misguided
union head seems the "noble" thing to do. Yes I AM on the Ministry payroll -
as teachers, we ALL are, by definition! But I also have the privilege of
working with the very dedicated professionals who comprise not only the
English teaching staffs in our schools, but also the devoted counselors,
instructors, and inspectors. I am in favor of us working TOGETHER to better
our status as well as our salaries, which we all really do deserve. Calling
people to revolt and model poor moral behavior, can only serve to divide us.
And a house divided can not stand.
Adele
