Dear Etniers, I have just come home from demonstrating/ protesting at the Tsemach Junction. We got lots of support , with thumbs raised, and honking horns.. But what difference will we really make !! And although it was uplifting to join my fellow teachers in expressing our frustration and anger at the situation it was upsetting to come home to the news of the possible and then as I began surfing the net it was shocking to see the following (see below) advertisement in Yahoo. (This is an advert for Americans telling them in which jobs they can earn the most money !!! ).. Imagine starting out at $60,000!!!! Yes we in Israel have a LONG way to go.. but I totally agree with Renee , we could get better pay if there were smart reforms made and less money went to bagrut tests 3 times a year and of course lost lessons due to a million other more important extra curricular activities.. Well.. another week gone. Awfully unhappy Aviva *2. **High School Teachers*<http://education.yahoo.net/degrees/results.jsp?ct=online&sub=education&article=featured_preparing_for_entry_level_jobs&txt=High_School_Teachers>-- $59,269 entry earnings While many believe teachers are underpaid, a near-$60,000 entry-level salary makes for solid earnings. . *Education Administrators*<http://education.yahoo.net/degrees/results.jsp?ct=online&sub=education&article=featured_preparing_for_entry_level_jobs&txt=Education_Administrators>-- $80,000 entry earnings If you're already a teacher, think of the high-paying, entry-level salary you can earn as a principal or school district administrator -- Try and Fail BUT Never Fail to try !!!
