Subject: Re: Teaching wihout a License


Sorry Barry, but I don't find this amusing. I have been teaching in Israel
for four 1/2 years now (since making aliyah). In the states I had over 10
years teaching experience, a teaching license and a master's degree. I  made
aliyah fror the express purpose of teaching Jewish kids (the public schools
in my state had no Jewish students). I felt that I wanted to use my talent
to help my own people. I got a job after being here four months and have
been working ever since. I'm currently teaching the higher level English
students 4th -8th grades in Alon Shvut. It's a full time job!  I love
teaching and I think I deserve an Israeli teaching certificate.

I have heard from other successful degreed English teachers who also have
not had the time to take the required courses because they are busy working
as teachers. One woman has been teaching for 20 years! If the Ministry would
grant qualified teachers like us a license, it would inspire us to earn
g'mul with continuing education. It would be a win-win situation.
