What I think about this is even more disturbing: the question borders 
on the realm of subliminal persuasion > I have no idea how many 
pupils did Module F this summer, but I can imagine the effect on 
at least 80 percent of them as they say something to the effect 
of ..."she shows her devotion by refusing to go on strike/by working 
without pay" or words to that effect. When I had asked a bright pupil
what he thought of the question, he shrugged nonchalantly and gave 
me a look of, "Isnt't that how teachers are always treated?" If Limor 
Livnat's purpose in dismissing the 6,000 teachers this summer was 
to wage a campaign that would discredit the teachers , this does it 
MUCH more subtly, don't you think?
Incidentally, I have read reports that, in Norway, pupils were given 
a text about the Security Fence in Israel. And pupils were expected 
to write in response to one of the questions about how we are 
victimising the Palestenians. 
Does that help to put things in perspective?
