I am a third generation of English teachers in Israel and I love teaching English. I just don't believe in schools as the main place of learning English or any other foreign language. Students must be exposed to the language through other means: books, books, books and Radio, TV and books again. But the libraries in schools sometimes don't have any books in English (like a primary school in Ramat Hasharon where I taught - they didn't have English books at the library at all. And I taught the English speakers from class Alef to Vav and it was a good school. I think a possible solution is to establish schools that teach everything in English in Israel, all day long. And I believe in private schools in Israel as a solution for everyone - because the government has failed and money can't help a bad system. Maybe Chavruta can teach us how to establish a good school with Milgot for poor students. This is the link for the school's website. www.havruta-school.org.il/ and I highly appreciate Meitar also: http://www.beit-meitar.org.il/ *I am teaching this year in a Junior High and I want to find a school to teach in next year.* *Are they looking for English teachers at your school?* Can you give me names of schools that might be looking for English teachers?
