Subject: [etni] writing - in hebrew and/or english Unfortunately it's very true that Israeli kids aren't taught Hebrew properly. One of the reasons is that the subject is divided into sub-subjects, grammar (lashon,) composition (hab'ah/chibur) and literature (sifrut.) This seriously disables their foreign language study, English being the major barometer.
