Greetings all, I too saw the disgusting, ignorant article by Amotz Asa El on the Jerusalem Post site today. I sent off the following reply on the talkback. " When you attack the man and not the issues it is clear that there is something wrong with the attacker. Teachers have ample free time do we? Even the briefest of quizzes takes a minute to mark -that' s 40 minutes for a class of forty, plus writing it up, exams, homework, lesson prep , guarding, trips, meetings, paperwork, etc. I do at least an hour's work etc for every hour I teach Keep lying about that and it is clear you are either ignorant or have a hostile agenda. Shame!" (This is the maximum length you can type in the talkback, but I think I got it succinct.) Also congratulations to Jack Pillemer for that brilliant powerpoint!! Well done Jack!
