Subject: HOTS teaching needs hours!
Renumeration aside (and we REALLY deserve it,) I see NO way to get
literature taught with HOTS, plus unseens; grammar; listening comprehension;
projects done with the feeble 4 hours a week we have. As other teachers have
previously mentioned, at religious schools about 30% of the hours fall due
to lectures; "sayeret" (when girls go romping throughout the country looking
for a good place for sherut leumi the following year,) etc.
Like Rachelle mentioned, I too began teaching HOTS in my hakbatza aleph 9th
grade class this year to familiarize pupils with the concept of HOTS. (This
I will not continue to do next year unless the Irgun gives its okay.)
Even without the HOTS and literature, we cannot manage to efficiently teach
what we already have on our plates. And yes, I am one of the "friariyot" who
give endless hours of tigbur on my free time to help pupils prepare for
their oral exams; etc. If this HOTS program is so important to the MOE, lets
have some more hours to implement it PLEASE! (Plus a bit of "moolah" to help
pay the bills :)
Good luck everyone today, and Chag Shavuot Sameach!
