If the Irgun expected us to dock 12 points from the grade of every pupil, they had to make it very clear from the beginning to all students, parent and principals. Then the teachers could have complied. It is unfair and unrealisitc to leave such critical decision in the hands of individual teachers. Barry S I am in complete agreement with Barry. All of the Irgun's sanctions and strikes have been very unclear from the start. Ron Erez needs to specifically state how the sanctions will affect the student?s grades. He should send this in writing to: The Knesset, Mefakchim, Principals and Rakazim. He should then publish an article in the newspapers so that the parents and students will understand what?s going on. Once the students and parents are explicitly aware of the consequences of the strike, THEY themselves will call out in protest. As it stands, no-one really understands what the strike is about. This leaves the teachers upholding the sanctions in an unnecessarily awkward position. ----------------------------------------------- ** 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 ** -----------------------------------------------
