Sorry, I should ask, is there anyone out there who DOESN'T know how difficult it is to find English teachers (real) today..???? Except for the MInistry of Education , of course..... which no doubt if anyone attached to them reads this will give a different and noble accounting..... because we know how noble and credible they are and they have a lengthy track record to prove this We couldn't believe our luck.. we actually found an EXCELLENT, experienced teacher.... THe kids loved him, the parents loved him, the staff loved him... and thanks to the Ministry of Education which is INCAPABLE of committing to how much a teacher should get paid or what their status is, etc, etc..and I have since heard that this is a common problem...... and the Ministry of Absorbtion which is infamous for its incompetence, not to mention the misinformation and outright lies .. not only has our school and English teaching community lost a valued member but this country has lost another Zionistic family that was willing to give up a wonderful, profitable life in England to deal with "life as we know it here." You should know that our staff, especially the rechezet and principal did everything possible to help this family stay.. our school community was willing to call out the press (and apparently our school has quite a few connections) but the teacher didn't want the publicity... DAvid, I swear the next time a letter comes through from a teacher abroad who wants to teach here..I personally will write and tell him/her to stay away!!! THis REpublic is turning more banana ry every day!!!!!! jesg ----------------------------------------------- ** Etni homepage - http://www.etni.org or - http://www.etni.org.il ** ** for help - ask@xxxxxxxx ** ** to post to this list - etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** -----------------------------------------------
